We Announce Appendices for Records in Enotar.io with Blockchain Technology
A new feature will allow creators, companies, and professionals to add additional information and evidence to existing copyright or trade secret records.
A new tool that will expand and strengthen the protection of your works and trade secrets
At Enotar.io, we are pleased to announce the upcoming launch of appendices for already published records, an innovation that will be officially available starting September 1, 2025.
This new feature will allow creators, companies, and professionals to add complementary information, additional evidence, or technical documentation to existing copyright or trade secret records, thereby strengthening their probative value and legal clarity.
What Are Appendices?
In intellectual property, appendices are additional documents that are incorporated into an existing record to expand, detail, or support the original content.
With them, you can:
- Provide technical or legal details: manuals, blueprints, glossaries, or specifications.
- Include additional evidence: previous versions, sketches, photographs, audio, or video.
- Clarify complex concepts: notes or explanations that reinforce the understanding of the main record.
Usage Examples
- Music and creative works: sheet music, demos, alternative mixes, additional lyrics, rehearsal recordings.
- Software and technology: technical documentation, architecture diagrams, code snippets, beta version screenshots.
- Literature: removed chapters, early drafts, author’s annotations, maps, or character timelines.
- Design and illustration: previous logo versions, color variations, mockups, moodboards, source files, custom fonts.
- Trade secrets: internal processes, formulas, manuals, blueprints, strategic supplier lists, or evidence of subsequent improvements.
Enhanced Protection for Trade Secrets
A trade secret, to be legally recognized and defended, must not only have strategic or economic value but also must be proven to have been actively protected and documented.
This means that the owner must demonstrate that concrete measures were taken to restrict access, such as:
- Non-Disclosure Agreements (NDAs) signed with collaborators, suppliers, clients, investors, or advisors.
- Internal policies limiting information to authorized personnel only.
- Delivery or exchange records showing when, how, and with whom the information was shared.
With Enotar.io’s new appendices feature, it will now be possible to register and seal these agreements and documents on the blockchain, linking them directly to an existing trade secret record. This not only supports the date and authorship of the document but also incorporates it as tamper-proof digital evidence, strengthening its validity in case of dispute.
Trade Secret Application Examples
- Food industry: seal on the blockchain an NDA signed by a chef and their team before sharing a signature product recipe.
- Technology development: attach an NDA signed by an external programmer before a key phase of the software.
- Manufacturing: register machinery blueprints or production processes along with supplier NDAs.
- Fashion and design: include the agreement signed by a business partner who will receive exclusive patterns before launch.
- Pharmaceutical sector: add documentation and agreements covering trials, formulas, and clinical data before initiating collaborations.
Exclusive Advantages of Appendices in Enotar.io
- Blockchain timestamp: tamper-proof digital evidence, publicly verifiable.
- Lifetime protection: during your lifetime and 70 years after your death.
- Absolute privacy: we never store or access your file contents.
- Total flexibility: add appendices at any time without redoing the original record.
Why This Is an Advancement
Works, inventions, or trade secrets evolve over time. With appendices, you can document these evolutions and add additional evidence progressively, which in a legal dispute can make the difference.
The feature will allow attaching materials such as sheet music, demos, technical diagrams, drafts, blueprints, NDAs, and any document that expands and strengthens the probative value of a record.
“With appendices, we give our users the ability to document the evolution of their works or trade secrets with verifiable and tamper-proof evidence. This means stronger and more adaptable protection over time, backed by the transparency and security offered by blockchain.”
