The Future of IP Protection
Bridging Enterprise DAM and Blockchain
Summary:
This whitepaper examines the critical challenge organizations face in maintaining unbreakable connections between digital assets and their ownership documentation. It presents web3dam's innovative approach to bridging enterprise Digital Asset Management (DAM) systems with blockchain technologies.
The paper explores the "orphan IP crisis," where valuable assets become "commercially untouchable" when disconnected from ownership documentation. This disconnect costs the US economy up to $600 billion annually, with 25% of songwriting royalties lost due to incomplete ownership data.
web3dam addresses this gap through its dual structure: web3dam.foundation advances standards and education for blockchain adoption in DAM, while web3dam.consulting delivers practical implementation. This approach transforms how organizations protect, verify, and monetize their intellectual property by creating permanent, verifiable records that survive system migrations and organizational changes.
