Featured Whitepaper
Case Study: Leading Pharma Co. Protects IP and Streamlines "Sign & Witness" Process using Integrated, Trusted Timestamping
Sponsored By: Surety, LLC

For this large pharmaceutical company, the legal protection of their intellectual property research data in their lab management workflows was questionable – they could lose ownership, revenue and potentially their business if they couldn't prove time of creation ("first-to-invent") and authenticity decades into the future. Learn how they integrated a simple, automated control to protect their scientific intellectual property, and streamlined their "signing and witnessing" processes for legal defensibility. Without such a control, the company could expose itself to lost IP claims, rejected patents, and ultimately lost revenue.
