Increased globalization and the development and growth of today’s Internet worldwide have made IP protection more important than ever. It is vital to maintain the integrity of IP by having laws that protect IPrights and facilitate future innovation, progression, and advancements in various industries of the world economies. It is also important to use new and emerging technologies, such as distributed ledger technology (DLT) and blockchain technology, to help protect IP rights, and manage and monetize IP assets worldwide. For example, although copyright laws are created to protect the copyright owner and their work, most copyright owners do not go through the process of formally registering their work in a government copyright office. Protecting and enforcing IP rights (such as copyrights) and monetizing IP assets is very difficult if the IP owners cannot verify the authorship and ownership of their IP assets. The PlanChain IP Asset Management Platform and Mobile Application (patent pending) can use DLT and blockchain technology to offer innovative features for IP owners to prove the authorship and ownership of their IP assets and monetize their IP assets.

What is Intellectual Property?

Intellectual Property (IP) refers to creations of the mind, which include inventions, literary and artistic works,symbols, names, images, and designs used in commerce, among others. IP is divided into two main categories. The first category is industrial property, which includes patents, utility models, trademarks, industrial designsand geographical indications of source. The second category is copyrights, which includes literary, musical, and general artistic works such as novels, poems, movies, songs, drawings, paintings, videos, photographs,sculptures, and architectural designs.

The primary purpose of IP laws in jurisdictions around the world is to promote innovation by granting IP rights. IP rights give inventors, artists, and other IP owners the ability to protect their ideas, artistic works, and other IP assets. This allows IP owners to freely create without fear that someone else will capitalize on their efforts. IP laws are also meant to benefit society by encouraging inventors and artists to reveal their work to the public, in exchange for IP rights and the opportunity to monetize and receive other benefits from their IP asset.

PlanChain - IP Asset Management Platform and Mobile Application

Planchain is a next generation Intellectual Property (IP) Asset Management Platform (patent pending) that ispowered by the PlanChain (PLAN) utility token and the VechainThor Blockchain. The Planchain platform willutilize DLT and blockchain technology to help manage, protect, and monetize IP assets in innovative ways. The Planchain platform offers blockchain-powered IP asset management solutions in the areas of copyrights,trademarks, and patents.

The PlanChain platform includes a Proof of Authorship Engine to create an immutable record of the authorship and ownership of an IP asset (e.g., a copyrighted asset, such as a digital photograph) on the VechainThor Blockchain. - User upload one or more files associated with IP asset. - User provides PLAN utility tokens. Alternatively, fiat or other digital assets provided by user are converted to PLAN tokens. - PlanChain uses a SHA-256 algorithm to generate one or more hashes. - PlanChain initiates transaction to generate immutable record on VechainThor Blockchain of the authorship and ownership of the IP asset, including a timestamp. - Optionally use fee delegation (such as MPP for VTHO) or atomic swaps to pay for VechainThor Blockchain gas. - PlanChain generates a blockchain certificate for user to document the authorship and ownership. - User has option to create a Non-Fungible Token (NFT) of their IP asset.

After receiving the blockchain certificate, the user may add an NFT of their IP asset to the IP Vault for secure storage or to the IP Marketplace for monetizing their IP asset. The PlanChain team is currently building a partner network of IP professionals around the world. The user will have the option to work with one of our partner IP professionals if the user wants to register their IP in one or more official government offices.

Proof of Authorship Engine

IP Vault

The PlanChain platform includes an IP Vault that allows users to securely store their files associated withtheir IP assets, blockchain certificates, NFTs, draft documents, contracts, among others. - Private Vault – secure storage that is only accessible by the user - Linked Vault – secure storage where the user can enable restricted access to certain vault documents to linked accounts, such as a linked account to an IP professional working with the user.

The PlanChain platform includes an IP Asset Marketplace called THORM that allows users to monetize theirIP assets. THORM can use NFTs that represent IP assets and the metadata associated with the IP assets. Users can create profiles on THORM and also IP portfolios (linked to their profiles) to list, showcase, and monetize all of their IP assets. All transactions will be powered by the PLAN utility token and the VechainThorBlockIPchain, and may optionally use fee delegation (such MPP for VTHO) or atomic swaps.

Sell – License – Trade – Auction

IP Asset Marketplace

- Sell: users can list their IP assets for sale. - License: users can list their IP assets for license. - Trade: users can indicate their IP assets are also available for trade. - Auction: users can sell their IP assets in an auction format. - IP Asset Portfolios – each user can showcase a portfolio of their IP assets.

- Users can showcase a portfolio of digital photographs or other artistic works for sale/license/etc. - Companies and individuals can showcase a portfolio of their issued patents for sale/license/etc.

-IP asset pooling – users can pool two or more IP assets for sale or license as a group. - Muti-party IP asset pooling – multiple users (such as multiple companies or individuals) can pool multiple IP assets for sale or license as a group and share the proceeds per the terms of an agreement. - Automatic transfer of ownership – automatically transfer the proof of authorship and ownership from the seller(s) to the buyer(s). - IP Asset Inheritance solutions – offer the user the option to sign up for inheritance solutions for their IP assets using technology powered by our partner SafeHaven.

The PlanChain ecosystem also includes a mobile application for IP asset management called SNAP BLOCK(patent pending) that integrates most or all of the features of the Proof of Authorship Engine, the IP Vault, and THORM: IP Asset Marketplace. Furthermore, SNAP BLOCK offers unique and innovative features forthe user that is on the go.

- User snaps a digital photograph (or records a video or other media).- PlanChain automatically, or based on user input, generates a record on the VechainThor Blockchain for proof of authorship and ownership of the photo. Two options:

- Automatic option enabled – instantly and seamlessly perform operation after capturing photo. - User input option enabled – user asked to confirm immediately after capturing photo, and operation performed instantly after user confirmation.

- PlanChain automatically generates blockchain certificate for user.- User has option to instantly create a Non-Fungible Token (NFT) of their photo.- User has the option to add a digital signature to their photo to visually indicate a record of ownership has been added to the blockchain (and optionally add other metadata).- User has the option to seamlessly add their IP asset to the IP Vault, and to their profile/portfolio in the THORM IP Asset Marketplace in order to monetize their IP asset.

All transactions using the Mobile Application will be powered by the PLAN utility token and the VechainThor Blockchain, and may optionally use fee delegation (such MPP for VTHO) or atomic swaps.

From our Live the Life (LTL) partnership, LTL plans to integrate certain features of the PlanChain platform, such as the PLAN utility token and a link to the IP Marketplace, into their LTL platform.
