Oxford Dictionary: A digital ledger in which transactions
made in bitcoin or another cryptocurrency are recorded
chronologically and publicly
Hyperledger: Blockchain is a digital technology for recording
and verifying transactions. The distributed ledger is a
permanent, secure tool that makes it easier to create cost-
efficient business networks without requiring a centralized
point of control. With distributed ledgers, virtually anything
of value can be tracked and traded.
The Economist describes the blockchain as:
“The blockchain is a shared, trusted, public ledger that
everyone can inspect, but which no single user controls. The
participants in a blockchain system collectively keep the
ledger up to date: it can be amended only according to strict
rules and by general agreement.”

4. Why Blockchain is hot topic now
Good example are finance transactions
• Paper heavy (regulations, auditable, …)
• Slow (Days, Correspondent Banks, Settlement, …)
• Lacks Security
• Lacks Transparency
• That is Billions of costs...

5. Blockchain and IP business
Blockchain offer opportunities to create new models that better reflect the
wants and needs of creators, consumers of content, the connectors who put the
two together, and the public as a whole
• IP Registries
• Registration, Transfers, Consigning, Loaning, Licensing,
• NEW ECONOMIC MODELS
• Micro/Nano payments
• Crowdfunding
• Tracking usage
• Smart Contract
• Digital Certificates
• Royalty payments and collecting societies
• Automated licensing
• Digital goods
