Section 34 · Prior-use evidence

Your startup name. Cryptographically yours.

Hash 34 timestamps your startup name, founder & MSME identity into an immutable SHA-256 record — so if anyone ever steals your idea, you can prove you were first.

Built like Fort Knox for founders

Every submission is cryptographically sealed and stored immutably. No edits. No deletions. Just provable evidence.

SHA-256 hashing

Your data is canonicalized and hashed with SHA-256 — the same algorithm that secures Bitcoin.

Digital signature

Every certificate is signed with a server-held private key (HMAC-SHA256). Forgery is mathematically impossible.

Immutable records

Database triggers prevent ANY edit to a submitted record — even by us. What you submit is what stays.

Admin verification

Our team reviews each filing to flag duplicates and confirm authenticity.

Public verification page

Anyone, anywhere can verify your certificate at /verify/{your-id} — no account needed.

Government-aligned

Aligned with India's Trademark Act 1999 evidentiary principles. Use alongside formal IP India filing.

How it works

    Submit your details

    Startup name, concept, your details and parents' details — all required for a strong, court-friendly affidavit-style record.

  2. 02

    We hash & sign

    Your data is canonicalized to a fixed JSON form, hashed with SHA-256, and signed with our server key + a UTC timestamp.

  3. 03

    Admin verifies

    Our team reviews to confirm authenticity and screen for known conflicts before issuing your certificate.

  4. 04

    Display your badge

    Download your PDF certificate, embed our verification badge on your website, and share the public verify URL.

Legal note

India: Under the Indian Trademark Act, 1999, prior use of a mark establishes common-law rights. Our timestamped, immutable record can serve as evidence of first use in disputes, but is not a substitute for registration with the Controller General of Patents, Designs & Trade Marks (IP India). We strongly recommend you also file a formal TM application.

Global: This service provides proof-of-existence — a cryptographically verifiable record that specific data existed at a specific time. Trademark law varies by jurisdiction; consult a qualified IP attorney for legal advice.
