Decentralized data supply chain provenance

This invention describes a computer system that tracks the history and origin of digital content, specifically audio, video, or audiovisual files. It works by checking if the people or organizations involved in the content's past are legitimate. If they are, the system uses that information to create a new, verified record about the content, which then gets added to its ongoing history, ensuring a trustworthy chain of custody for digital media.

Why it matters: Filed before widespread adoption of enterprise-grade distributed ledger technologies and the rise of NFTs for digital media provenance. The claims cover verifying stakeholders and building trusted data chains, which is now more feasible and relevant with mature blockchain and DLT solutions for digital asset tracking.

Status: Not in forceListed as no longer active. The specific reason is not in the record we hold.
How hard to build: SpecializedDistributed ledger software, verification logic.
