Terms of Service
The agreement that will govern use of the service, the scope of an Evidence Deposit, acceptable use, liability and termination.
No approved document is published yet
This document has not been reviewed and approved by the operator's counsel, so no version of it is published here. We publish no draft or provisional version in its place, because a document that has not been approved cannot be relied on.
Because there is no approved terms of service, self-service account creation is switched off. Access to the platform is granted through the closed beta, with onboarding handled directly by the operator.

What still has to be approved
- Terms of service and governing-law terms require owner-supplied counsel review.
- Privacy disclosures, controller identity, subprocessors, retention periods, and data-subject procedures require approval.
- Cookie disclosures must be reconciled with the monitoring and analytics tools actually selected.
- Breach-notification contacts and jurisdiction-specific deadlines remain placeholders.
PatentChain provides blockchain Proof of Existence for submitted materials: a Timestamped Invention Record proving that specific files existed in a specific form at a specific time. It is not a patent office. An Evidence Deposit does not grant or register a patent, does not create a patent-office filing date, does not determine authorship or inventorship, and does not confirm patentability. Patent rights are obtained solely through official patent offices.
