IP Registry and rights records
What the Suede IP Registry records, and the limits of file fingerprints, timestamps, and creator claims.
Last updated
Current status
IP Registry registration is live and every record is publicly readable. The registry issues no licenses and verifies none; it records a fingerprint, a wallet-signed claim, contributors, and a timestamp.
The live status page is at ip.suedeai.ai. Do not rely on older launch copy, screenshots, or onboarding instructions.
What these fields can show
- Fingerprint: a cryptographic hash identifies the exact bytes in a file. It does not identify the author by itself.
- Timestamp: a trustworthy timestamp can support evidence that a fingerprint was recorded at a particular time. It does not prove the work was first.
- Creator claim: an account can state who created a work and list contributors. That statement remains a claim.
- Permissions and routing: these require an authenticated, verified workflow. Their presence must not be inferred from a file upload, claim, or payment elsewhere in Suede.
Legal and practical limits
A file fingerprint, timestamp, or creator claim does not grant copyright, adjudicate ownership, stop infringement, enforce a permission, or guarantee payment. Keep source files, drafts, session history, contributor agreements, licenses, and dated correspondence as part of the broader evidence trail.
