The EU has experienced an increase in Mergers and Acquisitions (M&As) in the space of technology, where Intellectual Property (IP) assets have turned out to be a definite determinant of success. Traditionally recession-resistant assets like patents, copyrights, trademarks, trade secrets, and proprietary technologies are now playing a key role in valuations and transaction results. This paper analyses the legal framework, key issues, and practical suggestions of IP in tech M&A in the EU. The regime of the Unified Patent Court (UPC) and the IP Enforcement Directive offer a balanced system of cross-border business operations, but differences in national legislation and multifaceted EU competition regulations still pose a challenge to stakeholders. The IP due diligence is also important, as it demands evaluations of ownership, enforceability, and the risk of dispute, licensing, and encumbrances. Companies need to make IP portfolios work together and solve the conflict of overlapping or redundant assets after the merger. New valuation and protection complexities emerge with emerging technologies like artificial intelligence and blockchain and can often exceed current frameworks. This paper indicates the significance of sound legal, technical, and financial cooperation, both regional and international, to have sustainable and effective IP management. Meeting these aspects is critical to making the stakeholders realize long-term value in EU tech-sector M&A.
Indigenous knowledge (IK) is increasingly recognized as essential for biodiversity conservation, climate resilience, and sustainable resource management, providing proven solutions such as regenerative agriculture, water conservation systems, and community-led carbon sequestration. Despite its relevance, prevailing intellectual property (IP) regimes rooted in Western legal traditions remain poorly aligned with the collective, intergenerational, and evolving nature of Indigenous climate innovations. This chapter examines how existing international IP frameworks, including TRIPS, the Nagoya Protocol, and WIPO mechanisms, inadequately protect IK and enable persistent misappropriation and biopiracy. Drawing on qualitative case studies from Asia, Africa, and Latin America, alongside legal and policy analysis of global climate governance instruments such as the Paris Agreement and the UNFCCC, the chapter identifies several critical findings. Current IP systems emphasize individual ownership, novelty, and time-limited protection, thereby excluding IK systems and weakening benefit-sharing arrangements. As a result, Indigenous climate solutions are frequently commercialized without consent or equitable returns to originating communities. The analysis further demonstrates that alternative governance models, including sui generis protections, recognition of customary law, and community-led documentation initiatives, provide viable mechanisms for safeguarding Indigenous innovations while supporting ethical collaboration. The chapter also finds that digital technologies, particularly blockchain and AI-based knowledge repositories, can enhance Indigenous control over documentation, monitoring, and commercialization of climate innovations. The chapter concludes that meaningful climate action requires urgent IP and policy reforms that embed IK as a foundational pillar of global sustainability and climate governance.

The management of intellectual property (IP) agreements in universities continues to rely on static legal documents that are signed, archived, and consulted when necessary, but whose content is rarely formalized to facilitate their operation and verification. Consequently, obligations, permissions, restrictions, deadlines, scopes, and exceptions often remain scattered across clauses drafted in natural language, annexes, emails, and different document versions, which hinders their monitoring and makes compliance review dependent on intensive legal and administrative work. In response to this limitation, this article proposes an ontology to formalize non-disclosure agreements (NDAs) at the University of Caldas, Colombia, understood as a specific case within the broader management of IP agreements. The proposal adopts a modular Semantic Web architecture composed of a reusable ontological core and a specialized profile for NDAs. Its construction followed the METHONTOLOGY methodology, and its specification was supported by Competency Questions (CQs), which were subsequently translated into SHACL constraints and SPARQL queries. In addition, a SKOS vocabulary is incorporated to normalize synonyms and terminological variants typical of legal drafting in Spanish, together with a lightweight weak supervision layer based on regular expressions, SKOS, and structural signals to support clause labeling and the batch generation of RDF instances. Thus, the proposal enables querying, traceability, and verification over NDA content, while offering a formal basis for progressing toward automatable controls and their eventual articulation with smart contracts.
Regulatory permissiveness is widely prescribed as the primary institutional lever for digital asset adoption. This study challenges that prescription. Analyzing NFT and DeFi adoption across 105 countries using Principal Component Analysis (PCA)-constructed composite indices and multivariate Ordinary Least Squares (OLS) regression, we find that the Frontier Technology Readiness Index (FTRI) is the dominant structural correlate across all specifications, consistently outperforming competing explanatory variables. Regulatory environments neither independently explain adoption nor are associated with it linearly: both permissive and restrictive environments outperform mostly prohibited jurisdictions, suggesting that regulatory clarity rather than permissiveness is the operative institutional dimension. NFT and DeFi markets follow empirically distinct pathways: NFT adoption shows stronger associations with digital marketplace maturity while DeFi is more closely associated with technological infrastructure, suggesting that treating Web3 as a homogeneous policy category is unwarranted. National income conditions how effectively technological readiness is associated with adoption gains, with structural determinants exhibiting considerably reduced explanatory power in lower-middle-income economies. For policymakers, these findings reframe the debate: the primary structural correlate of digital asset adoption is technological capacity, not regulatory stance, and below a development threshold, neither intervention is reliably associated with adoption gains.

Abstract:Intellectual Property (IP) represents the largest class of assets in the global economy ($65â100 trillion) yet remains structurally absent from corporate balance sheets under GAAP and IFRS (IAS 38). Consequently, the market capitalisation of technology companies is artificially split only into Tangible Assets (TA) and a Speculative Premium (MP), with the real value of IP hidden inside MP. This technical specification outlines Version 1.0 of the IP Coin methodology, delivering a market-based spot utility token framework designed to materialize the hidden value of intellectual property into a liquid, visible asset layer (IP_visible). By purchasing IP Coin, investors directly capitalise the previously invisible IP of a public company. The platform displays three layers â TA, MP, and IP_visible â and automatically transfers purchase value from MP to IP_visible based on the strict capital conservation rule: MC = TA + IP_visible + MP. The Intangible Dominance Ratio (IDR = IP_visible / MC) updates automatically after every trade as a derived performance metric, rather than a price-setting oracle. This methodology creates the first market-based solution for IP tokenisation without altering accounting standards. Keywords: Fintech, Tokenization, Financial Engineering, Intangible Assets, AI Valuation, Copyright, Capital Markets, Web3 Architecture, Market Decomposition.
The rapid advancement of digital technologies has significantly transformed the landscape of commerce, leading to new challenges in the protection and enforcement of trademark rights. Traditionally, trademarks functioned within territorial boundaries and were primarily associated with physical goods and services. However, the emergence of digital platforms such as e-commerce websites, social media, domain name systems, blockchain technologies, Non-Fungible Tokens (NFTs), and the metaverse has expanded the scope of trademark usage into virtual environments. This Paper examines the evolving nature of trademark protection in the digital and virtual world, with particular emphasis on the adequacy of existing legal frameworks in addressing contemporary challenges. It analyzes key issues such as cybersquatting, keyword advertising, social media infringement, unauthorized use of trademarks in NFTs, and the complexities of trademark use in the metaverse. The study also highlights jurisdictional challenges arising from the borderless nature of the internet, which complicate enforcement mechanisms and legal remedies.
Intellectual Property (IP) transactions play a vital role in the contemporary global economy, encompassing the exchange of intangible assets such as patents, copyrights, trademarks, and trade secrets. These assets are fundamental drivers of innovation and economic development across diverse industries. However, conventional methods of managing IP transactions are often characterized by inefficiency, high transaction costs, lack of transparency, and frequent disputes arising from ambiguities in enforcement and contractual obligations. This study examines the potential of blockchain-based smart contracts to address these challenges by enhancing efficiency, fairness, and transparency in IP transactions. Smart contracts, which are self-executing agreements encoded in computer-readable protocols, facilitate automated execution of predetermined contractual terms without requiring intermediary intervention. The integration of blockchain technology with decentralized and secure ledger systems minimizes errors, reduces dependency on intermediaries, and mitigates disputes resulting from cumbersome and unclear procedural mechanisms in conventional IP transactions. Additionally, smart contracts streamline licensing, royalty distribution, and contract enforcement, thereby accelerating transaction processes while ensuring improved security and accountability. Blockchain decentralization further strengthens the protection of intellectual property transactions against unauthorized alterations. Smart contracts also support automated royalty allocation, enabling equitable payment distribution among creators, rights holders, and intellectual property owners. Transparency is enhanced through shared access to accurate transactional information, fostering trust among stakeholders and reducing the likelihood of legal conflicts. Despite these advantages, the adoption of smart contracts in IP transactions faces several practical and legal challenges, including regulatory recognition, enforceability across jurisdictions, compatibility with existing intellectual property frameworks, and privacy concerns associated with confidential transactional data. This article investigates how blockchain-integrated smart contracts can transform intellectual property transactions, with particular focus on improving efficiency, strengthening security, ensuring fair compensation, and promoting transparency. By examining relevant theoretical perspectives, case studies, and practical applications, the study offers insights into the broader implications of adopting blockchain technology for intellectual property management.
We present the Creation Ledger, a protocol for token economics grounded in verified creative process rather than computational expenditure, staked capital, or attention signals. The protocol introduces Proof of Provenance (PoP) â a consensus primitive where tokens are minted exclusively through verified human-directed creative work, as validated by Cognitive Rhythm Analysis (CRA) of embedded decision trees. The protocol addresses three structural failures that have destroyed every prior creator token platform: (1) speculation crowding out utility at launch, (2) verification systems that are cheaper to forge than to use honestly, and (3) regulatory classification as securities due to revenue-sharing mechanics. The system is protected by nine provisional patent applications (193 claims across four patent families) filed with the United States Patent and Trademark Office. Patent Support: Patents 1-9 filed March 30, 2026. 193 total claims across Dense Notation, Proxy Provenance, Self-Proving Documents, Decision-Chain Provenance, Schema Registry, Delivery Protocol, Code Closure, Format-Provenance Fusion, and Document-Directed Computation.
Abstract To address issues in traditional patent valuationâsuch as subjective selection of dimensional metrics, weak sensitivity to high-dimensional transaction data noise, and insufficient correlation between evaluation indicators and dimensionsâthis study proposes a smart contract-based patent value assessment model. Firstly, existing patent valuation theories and techniques undergo systematic deconstruction and multidimensional efficacy assessment. Leveraging big data technology, a four-dimensional optimal framework integrating "technology-market-legal-risk" dimensions is constructed. Secondly, an enhanced non-negative matrix factorization algorithm (S-NMF) is designed. By incorporating diagonal matrices and fused regularization parameters, this algorithm maps the four-dimensional optimal framework into 14 quantifiable metrics using Hyperledger Fabric consortium blockchain transaction data. This addresses the core limitation of classical NMF algorithmsâthe inability to adjust dimension weightsâenabling flexible weighting control to meet differentiated valuation needs across diverse patent application scenarios. Finally, performance analysis and simulation experiments were conducted on the patent value assessment model, comparing it with the traditional NMF algorithm. Results demonstrate that this model outperforms traditional models in both noise robustness and dimensional correlation, effectively supporting patent value assessment needs across multiple scenarios.
Objectives: The authors explore how large pharmaceutical corporations may integrate emerging decentralized technologies-such as blockchain and decentralized autonomous organizations (DAOs)-within their merger, acquisition and partnership frameworks, and how these strategies intersect with broader innovation and external sourcing models. In this context, blockchain is considered primarily as an enabling infrastructure for decentralized governance and programmable coordination-supporting mechanisms such as tokenized incentives, auditable decision trails, and new forms of intellectual property (IP) and collaboration structures. Methods: This study employed a qualitative case study methodology, combining document analysis and semi-structured interviews with internal stakeholders from a leading large-cap pharmaceutical company (herein after "Company"). Participants included executives and professionals from corporate development, scientific research, external innovation, and digital strategy units.The analysis examined how a large-cap "Company" approaches mergers, acquisitions, and partnerships, and how emerging technologies may influence these frameworks. The study focused on strategy alignment, organisational attitudes towards decentralisation, integration constraints, and perceptions of innovation value along the external sourcing continuum. Results: Acquisition and innovation strategy by the "Company" is driven by long-term alignment between external opportunities and internal priorities. Over time, the "Company" increasingly turned to external sources of innovation, leveraging technologies to improve innovation scouting, target identification, and operational forecasting. While decentralisation technologies such as DAOs are viewed as promising for early-stage innovation and collaboration, their integration is hindered by legal ambiguity, internal governance rigidity, and unfamiliarity with token-based economics. The "Company" views mergers and acquisitions (M&As) and licensing as critical to sustaining its pipeline, and sees potential for emerging technologies to accelerate preclinical decision-making and improve visibility into academic and biotech ecosystems. Conclusions: This study contributes insights into how large-cap pharmaceutical firms might adapt their innovation models in response to technological change and external pressures. While established mechanisms such as M&A and partnerships remain dominant, digital and decentralized technologies offer complementary tools for scouting, collaboration, and portfolio expansion.

We introduce DLT-Corpus, the largest domain-specific text collection for Distributed Ledger Technology (DLT) research to date: 2.98 billion tokens from 22.12 million documents spanning scientific literature (37,440 publications), United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) patents (49,023 filings), and social media (22 million posts). Existing Natural Language Processing (NLP) resources for DLT focus narrowly on cryptocurrency price prediction and smart contracts, leaving domain-specific language underexplored despite the sector's ~$3 trillion market capitalization and rapid technological evolution. We demonstrate DLT-Corpus' utility by analyzing patterns of technology emergence and market-innovation correlations. Findings reveal that technologies first appear in our scientific literature subset before reaching patents and social media, following traditional technology transfer patterns. While social media sentiment remains overwhelmingly bullish even during crypto winters, scientific and patent activity grows less tied to short-term sentiment, tracking overall market expansion in a virtuous cycle in which research precedes and enables economic growth that, in turn, funds further innovation. We release the DLT-Corpus and companion artifacts: LedgerBERT (+23% over BERT-base on DLT-specific Named Entity Recognition (NER) task), a sentiment analysis dataset of 23,301 crypto news headlines and descriptions, tools, and code.
We present an end-to-end framework for systematic evaluation of LLM-generated smart contracts from natural-language specifications. The system parses contractual text into structured schemas, generates Solidity code, and performs automated quality assessment through compilation and security checks. Using CrewAI-style agent teams with iterative refinement, the pipeline produces structured artifacts with full provenance metadata. Quality is measured across five dimensions, including functional completeness, variable fidelity, state-machine correctness, business-logic fidelity, and code quality aggregated into composite scores. The framework supports paired evaluation against ground-truth implementations, quantifying alignment and identifying systematic error modes such as logic omissions and state transition inconsistencies. This provides a reproducible benchmark for empirical research on smart contract synthesis quality and supports extensions to formal verification and compliance checking.
The current scientific system faces systemic challenges. Decentralized Science (DeSci) has emerged as a technological extension of the Open Science (OS) movement, aiming to improve transparency, accessibility, and equity in research through blockchain and Web3 technologies. While DeSci has gained traction in Western countries, little is known about its adoption in non-Western contexts. Here, we surveyed 37 researchers and technologists active in Japanâs emerging decentralizedâscience (DeSci) during spring 2024 to assess how far the movement has progressed and what impedes its progress. Roughly 60% of respondents had already worked on blockchain projects and more than 80% owned crypto assets, yet almost 90% had discovered DeSci only in the past two years. Respondents largely embraced DeSciâs five core ideals: shared governance, transparent funding, open access, shared ownership, and equitable incentives. Meanwhile, four obstacles to growth were highlighted: low public awareness, difficulty sustaining engagement, limited talent diversity, and regulatory uncertainty. Taken together, the findings suggest that Japanâs DeSci community should also invest not only in further technical changes, but also in training, in broadening its talent base, and in setting clear guidelines. This study provides a comprehensive overview of the DeSci landscape in Japan and offers recommendations for its future development.

Large language models have intensified a growing property-rights challenge in digital markets: protected works can be copied, retrieved, transformed, and recombined at low marginal cost, while ownership, licensing authority, attribution, and remuneration remain costly to verify. First, I introduce the Model Context Protocol (MCP) as an interoperability layer between AI agents and intellectual-property institutions. MCP does not define rights or settle disputes; it gives agents a standardized way to query registries, invoke licensing tools, execute payments, record usage, and preserve audit trails. Second, I develop a stylized transaction-cost model of agentic licensing and derive comparative statics for when lawful exchange expands. Lower search, verification, contracting, payment, and monitoring costs can move marginal uses from avoidance, substitution, or unauthorized use into licensed exchange, especially when rights records are reliable, license terms are standardized, and interface costs are large relative to the price of the license. Third, I explain how non-fungible tokens (NFTs) can complement MCP when they operate not as collectibles, but as machine-readable rights objects linked to work identifiers, ownership claims, license scope, payment rules, provenance records, audit obligations, and dispute forums. Music licensing is illustrative because rights are fragmented across compositions, recordings, labels, publishers, performers, territories, and use types. MCP and NFT-linked rights records can support ex ante licensing when paired with verified title, enforceable contracts, bounded delegation, human review, and off-chain legal remedies.
This Article proposes a tripartite technical and legal framework designed to restore meaningful copyright enforcement in an era of large-scale generative artificial intelligence. The framework rests on three interlocking pillars. First, it mandates embedding of non-fungible token (NFT) provenance markers in all digitally published creative works, enabling immutable registration of every instance in which data is scraped or ingested by an AI system. Second, it establishes a compulsory labeling regime requiring that all AI-generated outputs carry a blockchain-anchored attestation of their machine origin and the training-data lineage that produced them. Third, it creates a royalty-settlement layer built on a purpose-designed stablecoin that triggers instantaneous, frictionless micropayments to rights holders whenever their content is used in AI training, inference, or downstream reproduction. The Article situates this proposal within the existing doctrinal architecture of U.S. copyright law, international treaty obligations, and emerging AI-governance legislation. It then subjects each pillar to rigorous technical scrutinyâexamining blockchain throughput constraints, metadata-embedding standards, privacy-preserving attribution methods, and stablecoin monetary-policy designâbefore offering a unified statutory and regulatory roadmap for implementation.
Classical political economy treats private property as foundational to economic coordination and individual autonomy. This paper argues that while private property remains formally intact, it has been substantively hollowed out by the erosion of privacy in the information age. The central claim is that private informationâdefined as the owner's privileged epistemic access to knowledge relevant to her assetsâis a necessary condition for meaningful private property. When such information is no longer privately controlled, ownership persists only as legal fiction rather than effective sovereignty. Through analysis of software licensing, smart property, and decentralized finance, the paper shows how contemporary property increasingly functions as conditional, reversible, access-based arrangements dependent on informational infrastructures governed by others. Revisiting Hayek's epistemological defense of property, the analysis demonstrates that the loss of informational privacy undermines the assumptions that allowed private property to sustain an extended order. The paper engages with objections from information economics and cryptographic privacy, examines systemic risks to economic stability, innovation, and political order, and concludes that the defining challenge of our time is not the abolition of private property, but the disappearance of the private itself.

The swift AI-generated art development has further fueled the discussion on both authorship and ownership, as well as on whether digital rights can be enforced. The existing intellectual property paradigms lack the ability to recognise works produced by autonomous systems fully or in part, which presents proxies in the maintenance of copyright, derivatives and cross-jurisdictional identification of AI-related rights. With more and more creative outputs based on algorithmic processes, there is an urgent requirement to have transparent, tamper-resistant processes that would be able to define, assign and protect right at scale. One of the promising infrastructures to facilitate legal and economic aspects of AI-generated art is the use of smart contracts, which are the self-executable agreements that run on blockchain networks. This paper discusses how authorship claims can be encoded in smart contracts, how royalty payments can be automated, and how programmable access controls can be offered, at the same time, offering verifiable provenance by tokenizing the provenance. We analyze technical specifications of creating powerful metadata standards to cover creation parameters, level of contributions, and model lineage. Moreover, we discuss interoperability issues in the heterogeneous blockchains and digital marketplaces, which are limited to the immutability, upgradability, and long-term security. In addition to the technical design, the paper evaluates the ethical impact, such as the fairness to human designers, responsible design of AI innovators, and risks to society in general of bias, exploitation, and its unequal distribution of rights-management systems.

The increasing digitization of creative assets poses significant challenges to the protection of intellectual property. In this context, blockchain and Non-Fungible Token (NFT) technologies emerge as promising solutions to ensure the authenticity, traceability, and monetization of digital assets. This study aims to explore the landscape of technological innovation at this intersection through a systematic search in patent databases. The methodology consisted of a search on the Orbit Intelligence database, followed by a rigorous dual validation process that combined manual screening and analysis by Artificial Intelligence (DeepSeek), resulting in a final portfolio of 119 patent families. The results reveal a sharp increase in the number of filings from 2018 onwards, with a peak in 2022, and a strong geographical concentration in China. The analysis of technological domains indicates that innovations are focused on "IT methods for management" and "Digital communication," highlighting the use of the technology as a governance infrastructure. The qualitative analysis of selected patents demonstrates the sophistication of the solutions, which address issues ranging from registration efficiency to rights management for AI-generated content. It is concluded that the field is rapidly maturing, moving beyond proof-of-concept to develop specialized solutions that address complex challenges in the intellectual property ecosystem, thereby redefining protection paradigms in the digital economy.
Modern digital ecosystems rely heavily on Open Source Software (OSS), but maintaining license compliance is still a major and unsolved problem. Current approaches rely on either manual audits, which are expensive, sluggish, and prone to error, or automatic scanners, which frequently fail with dual or bespoke licenses. Businesses, entrepreneurs, and academic institutions are exposed to serious legal, financial, and reputational concerns as a result of this divide. This project suggests a multi-layered OSS License Verification Framework that incorporates human-in-the-loop learning, logical reasoning, evidence-based validation, provenance tracking, and cryptographic assurance in order to overcome these constraints. To establish technical ground truth, the system starts with SBOM and SPDX provenance data, builds an attestation graph, and uses binary inference and differential tracing. License requirements are represented as vectors of obligations, assessed using a constraint solver and validated using zero-knowledge proofs (zk-proofs) to give auditors reliable proof of compliance. A human oracle ensures adaptation to changing license ecosystems by resolving ambiguities and continuously enhancing the knowledge base. The suggested framework seeks to provide an end-to-end, intelligent, and auditable solution for OSS licensing compliance by fusing automation with verifiability and adaptability. The results will help a variety of stakeholders, such as businesses looking to reduce risk, startups seeking quicker innovation, and academic institutions using OSS responsibly, all of which will contribute to a more secure and reliable opensource ecosystem.
