For several years, almost everyone has been talking about blockchain. The underlying distributed ledger technology has become (in)famous as the technology behind cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin and Ether. But what about blockchain and intellectual property like patents and copyright? Could this technology be used for the protection and enforcement of such rights? Which role can smart contracts play in this regard? This article focuses on questions concerning the requirements for provingthe protection of technical inventions as well as on the administration and exploitation of intellectual property rights. The latter could play an important rolefor intellectual property, which has not been registered or is not subject to registration, such as copyright. For trade secrets, a blockchain could be a useful tool for providing appropriate confidentiality measures. Last but not least, smart contracts in particular could be involved in connection with the transfer and, even more importantly, the licensing of intellectual property and mainly of software.

For example, in the case of "Music Industry" (Music Industry), especially in the cassette / DVD / VCD trade, sometimes people who are positioned as consumers prefer prices that are relatively cheap rather than expensive. Although of course the expensive ones have higher quality.Some time ago, precisely in July 2012 as quoted in the sitejogja.okezone.com The Government through the Directorate of Investigation of the Directorate General of Intellectual Property Rights of the Ministry of Law and Human Rights (HAM) handled 44 cases of intellectual property rights violations (HKI) per May 2012.
