The IP Superscript is known as the unique certification mark created and owned by Instant IP™. Its use signifies that the corresponding expression (words, phrases, chart, graph, etc.) has been protected by Instant IP™ via smart contract. Instant IP™ is designed with the patented smart contract solution (US Patent: 11,928,748) which creates an immutable time-stamped first layer and fast layer identifying the moment in time an idea is filed on the blockchain. This solution can be used in defending intellectual property protection. Infringing upon the respective intellectual property i.e. IP is subject to and punishable in a court of law. Please see Terms and Conditions for additional information.
Instant IP™ was launched by Dr. Kary Oberbrunner, a Wall Street Journal and USA Today bestselling author with over a dozen books to his name. As the CEO of both Instant IP™ and Igniting Souls®, Dr. Oberbrunner equips coachable, impact-driven entrepreneurs with the tools to publish, protect, and monetize their ideas—turning intellectual property into 18 distinct income streams. His work has been spotlighted in Forbes, Entrepreneur, Fox News, CBS, and more. His TEDx talk on protecting ideas using blockchain has surpassed one million views. He also holds the prestigious Berry Chair of Entrepreneurship at Cedarville University.
Unlike traditional forms of intellectual property protection such as patents and trademarks—which are often expensive and slow-moving—Instant IP™ delivers immediate and cost-effective safeguarding through its blockchain-based system. It records the exact moment an idea is submitted, offering a first and fast layer of evidence and protection that is verifiable and tamper-proof.
While Instant IP™ is not a substitute for formal patents or trademarks, it provides critical early-stage protection. This gives creators peace of mind while they develop their ideas further or begin the formal IP registration process.
This technology opens the door for more innovation by lowering the barriers to entry for protecting original ideas. Entrepreneurs can secure their creative assets instantly, reducing risk and allowing for faster progress and growth.
