Immutable Rights Record

Definition ∞ An Immutable Rights Record is a permanent, unchangeable ledger entry on a blockchain that documents ownership, licensing, or other intellectual property rights for a digital or physical asset. Once recorded, this information cannot be altered or deleted, providing a verifiable and transparent history of rights transfers and permissions. This technology offers enhanced security and proof of provenance. It guarantees data integrity for asset rights.
Context ∞ Immutable rights records are gaining recognition for their utility in sectors requiring verifiable ownership and authenticity, such as digital art, music, and supply chain management. The legal enforceability and widespread acceptance of these records are subjects of ongoing legal and technical discussions. This innovation seeks to resolve long-standing issues in intellectual property management.
