EU Legal protection, built into every certificate.

Each certificate includes a tamper-evident, independently verifiable electronic timestamp under eIDAS, the EU trust-services regulation (Regulation (EU) No 910/2014). In plain terms: independent proof of when you had your work and that it has not changed since, admissible as evidence across the EU.

Admissible as evidence across the EU
Under eIDAS, an electronic timestamp cannot be denied legal effect or admissibility in legal proceedings across all 27 EU states. Recognized in the UK, with a strong evidentiary record in Australia, the US, and beyond.
An independent, trusted record, not just your word
The timestamp comes from an independent time source under the eIDAS framework, not from you, so it stands on its own.
Tamper-evident to the pixel
The certificate proves your file has not been altered since it was sealed, not a single pixel, frame, or character.
Verifiable without trusting IPWeb3
You get a downloadable timestamp token and a permanent public verify page. A lawyer or a court can check it independently. If we disappeared tomorrow, your proof still stands.
A fixed, reliable date of creation
A dependable, court-relevant point in time you can rely on if you ever need to show you had your work first.

Two levels of proof, both real evidence

eIDAS Art. 41
Standard timestamp

A tamper-evident electronic timestamp. Valid, admissible evidence throughout the EU.

eIDAS Art. 42 · EU Legal
Qualified timestamp

Issued by a Qualified Trust Service Provider on the EU Trusted List. Adds the legal presumption of accuracy, the strongest status eIDAS defines.

What it does not do

Your certificate is powerful evidence, not a grant of ownership. It does not:

  • — Grant you a copyright or trademark. Those come from formal registration with an IP office (we can file that for you too, EUIPO, IP Australia, and more).
  • — Prove you personally created the work, only that you held and claimed it at that time.
  • — Override an earlier claim from someone who can show they had the work before you.

EU Legal timestamps are issued by a Qualified Trust Service Provider listed on the EU Trusted List under eIDAS (Regulation (EU) No 910/2014). The provider holds the qualified status; IPWeb3 is a customer of a listed provider, not an EU institution and not itself EU-certified.
