ARK is the world’s first 360º Intellectual Property Protection solution for new ideas - songs, scripts, pitches, patents, research, floorplans, fashion designs, code or any other form of proprietary intellectual property - any human idea that has been thought of and needs to be turned into a copyrightable ‘work’ can be registered, stored, updated and shared safely here. ARK is revolutionary in its approach to protecting your work, because it combines an: • integrated NDA • instant biometric verification • transparent blockchain registration of work • record of every interaction at every stage • immutable & unchangeable copy of work as NFT This means that without a lawyer, manager, agent or publisher, you can still save, store, share and collaborate on your ideas without worrying that they might be stolen or copied without your knowledge. Also, most crucially, ARK is a human-only access site which means your work is protected against AI scraping of your IP. Enjoy the freedom to be creative, explore the work of others and even join a community of like-minded people who believe that the future of creativity is human - and worth protecting.
