How to Use IP Vault
Step-by-step guide to protecting creative intellectual property, structuring category asset slots, managing published works catalogs, sync across cloud drives, and setting up Will Codicils for estate planning.
Cryptographic IP Protection Pipeline
Dual eIDAS RFC 3161 + Bitcoin OpenTimestamps proof — automatically issued on every submission
Select Work Category
Start by selecting your creative category (Literary, Fine Art, Sculpture, Software, Music, AI-Orchestrated, Translation, CAD). This configures tailored input labels and asset file slot guidance.
Define Work Title & Sub-Asset
Enter your primary work title (e.g. *The Chronicles of Aethelgard*). Sub-asset / component titles (e.g. *Volume I*) are optional and tailored for multi-part projects.
eIDAS RFC 3161 + Bitcoin OpenTimestamps
All uploaded media files are bundled into a protected ZIP archive. A SHA-256 hash is computed locally and automatically anchored with both: (1) an eIDAS Article 41(2) RFC 3161 Qualified Timestamp (.tsr) from a certified TSA, and (2) a Bitcoin OpenTimestamps calendar anchor (.ots). Both proof files are returned in the download package and serve as self-authenticating evidence in court.

Copyright Declaration Profiles & Co-Authors
Managing legal owner entity details, co-author shares %, and representatives
📜 Declaration Presets
Configure legal profiles on the Declaration Profiles page. Store legal names, physical addresses, corporate entity aliases, and agent contact details.
Selecting a profile dropdown preset instantly populates your copyright certificate fields before submission.
👥 Co-Author Royalty Share Splits
Add co-authors with explicit percentage splits (e.g. Creator 60%, Co-Writer 40%). The certificate mathematically calculates ownership shares and enforces 100%% total allocation validation.
Generates a legally binding `00_COPYRIGHT_DECLARATION.txt` inside the ZIP payload.
