A Russian court dedicated to intellectual property cases has successfully tested a blockchain network for the storage of copyright data. Reportedly, the technology was used for the first time in the judicial area in Russia, Monday, December 3, the main Russian news agency TASS writes.
According to the TASS, the court recorded a change in a group of rights holders, using a blockchain solution provided by IPChain, the Russian intellectual property. IPChain president Andrey Krichevsky says this is a precedent for the Russian judicial system, defining the use of technology as "a turning point".
Krichevsky believes that blockchain can help to increase interoperability in the market of author rights, as it allows you to keep all the information stored up-to-date, which is particularly important for the area of property rights.
The TASS reports that the court's representative, Ludmila Novoselova, has made it clear that the technical support of the courts will evolve further, noting that in five years all legal disputes will probably be resolved online.
As Cointelegraph previously reported, IPChain previously collaborated with the Uzbek government to implement its decentralized solutions in the sphere of local copyright, especially in the field of science and invention.
At the beginning of this year, a similar agreement was signed between IPChain and the Kyrgyz State Patent Office to digitize patent registers and store them in a decentralized database. Krichevsky also said that blockchain projects were also discussed with Armenian officials, notes the TASS.
Spanish public institutions are also exploring the use of blockchain in the copyright area. In July, the Spanish Society of Authors and Publishers and the School of Telecommunications Engineering in Madrid announced that they had begun researching the use of blockchains in copyright management.
