Intel's next-generation media rights management blockchain patent exposure!

The tech giant Intel has already made preparations for the blockchain. This time, they see the blockchain as a new way to restructure DRM.


In the US Patent and Trademark Office’s patent application published on March 8, Intel described a method of downloading digital image rights using a blockchain. The uniqueness of this method is enough to become a patent protected invention.

The patent application states:

'The blockchain technique is used to record and verify the attributes of digital content related to copyright protection. For example, it may include the identifier of the content author, a timestamp indicating when the content was created, and a monitoring result of detecting copy or modification of the content.'

Despite this, Intel is not a unicorn in the construction of digital rights blockchains. In addition to the blockchain industry project such as Berkeley's Open Music Project, which is promoting the promotion of digital copyright, including China Public Security and WENN Digital. The companies in the company also expressed their strong desire to enter the digital rights blockchain.
