IP Management
Your rights to the output – on record.
Copyright only protects human creative work – and the burden of proof is on you. That is why documentation decides: on:mint records your creative contribution in a traceable way and proves the AI in the loop: the creative work was yours – the AI only assisted.

How the work history is created.
You work as usual, in your own apps and with AI. After each step, on:mint secures the interim version. In the end, the whole creation process is there to check.
A work takes many steps. on:mint records each one. In the background.
When AI is involved, proof of your authorship is what counts.
IP Management captures every step in real time: automatic logging condenses your interim versions into an audit-proof work history. The result: your creative contribution stays transparent, and you can prove with legal certainty that even individual modules are eligible for protection.

If you claim protection, you have to prove it.
Under German copyright law, only what rests on a person's own intellectual creation is protected. An AI cannot be an author. In a dispute, you have to show which decisions came from you and how the work came together as a whole. That only works with records that make your contribution traceable.
Only described what you want
You tell the AI what you need and use what it gives you. Then nothing is protected: an idea on its own is not enough.
Reworked the result yourself
You rework what the AI produced and make your own creative decisions along the way. Then your part is protected, not the whole work.
Designed the blueprint yourself
You decide how the whole thing is built, in software for example the architecture, modules and data structures. The AI only fills it in. Then the work as a whole can be protected, even if its individual parts are not.
From first draft to final version
Secure the starting point
Your first draft gets a record of who created it and when. Your identity is firmly linked to the work using the CAWG standard. If the draft already has Content Credentials, IP Management builds on them.
Keep working as usual
You keep working in your usual apps, AI included. You don't have to change a thing.
Every step is logged
After each step, on:mint automatically secures the interim version, with the tool, the time and whether AI was involved.
Show the work history
When you need proof, you present the complete work history and show which contribution is yours. Each version can be checked through its fingerprint on the blockchain.
Runs in the background.
IP Management works best when you don't have to think about it. Your tools report each version to on:mint themselves. We set up the connection with you.

- AI assistants and agents secure interim versions through the on:mint MCP server, right inside the workflow.
- REST API
- Your system hands over each version via the API. When the record is ready, on:mint reports to your callback URL.
- Upload in the app
- You can also upload single versions yourself when needed.
The same technology as Content Credentials
Each step gets a complete record made of four parts. IP Management links these records for one work.
View Content Credentials- C2PA manifest
- Proof of provenance and content: what happened to the file and whether AI was involved. Any later change shows.
- CAWG identity
- Identity attribution: which person or company is behind the work, verifiable in the manifest.
- Invisible watermark
- A signal in the pixels leads to the record, even when metadata is missing.
- Blockchain entry
- The fingerprint is recorded on Polygon and cannot be changed. The files stay in the EU.
Pricing
In the subscription
- Work history: every step of your creative process, complete and stored permanently
- Qualified timestamp for every artifact, in real time1
- Content Credentials with CAWG identity for every work and every artifact2
- Daily anchoring of the whole work history on the blockchain3
- Tamper-protected storage for artifacts and work history
- Technical support and monitoring
In the setup
- Onboarding and account setup
- Connection via REST API4
- Connection via MCP server5
- GitHub or GitLab integration if needed
- What is an artifact?
- A module of your work that can be assessed for copyright on its own, such as a software component or a sketch. Artifacts sit in an ordered folder structure and are stored content-based: every file is uniquely findable by its content, and even the smallest change is provable.
- More storage
- Another 50 GB for €10 a month.
- Billing
- All prices net, plus VAT. Minimum term 6 months, then cancellable with 3 months' notice to the end of each term.
- 1Qualified timestamp:
- A timestamp from a qualified trust service under eIDAS (RFC 3161). It proves that an artifact existed in exactly this form at that time.
- 2CAWG identity:
- Open standard for identity attribution: the record states, verifiably, which person or company is behind the work.
- 3Blockchain:
- A digital land register where a file's fingerprint is stored tamper-resistant, so fakes can be proven.
- 4REST API:
- An interface your tools use to report each interim version to on:mint automatically.
- 5MCP server:
- A connection for AI assistants and agents that report interim versions right inside the workflow.
FAQs
In a dispute, a court decides whether your work is protected. What tips the balance is your creative contribution: the creative decisions you make yourself. The threshold of originality, meaning how individual and demanding a work is, does not help without it: an artifact an AI generates on its own stays in the public domain even at ten thousand lines, so anyone may use it freely. Twenty lines you designed yourself, on the other hand, can be protected. You have to prove your creative contribution. IP Management records it, step by step and for each artifact separately.
Content Credentials prove where a file comes from. IP Management uses the same technology for every interim version of a work and puts the records together into a work history.
C2PA proves what happened to a file and whether it is unchanged. CAWG adds identity attribution: which person or company is behind the work, in a verifiable way. For your copyright, that is exactly what matters: who made the contribution.
Anything that can connect via the REST API or the on:mint MCP server. You can also upload in the app. We'll work out together which route fits your tools.
Images, PDF documents and videos. on:mint signs JPEG, PNG, WebP and TIFF right inside the file and converts HEIC and AVIF to JPEG first. You secure hand sketches and other drafts on paper by scanning or photographing them.
Exclusively on servers of EU providers within the EU, with no transfer to third countries. The only thing public on the blockchain is the file's fingerprint, as protection against forgery.
