Patent Application
20250156974
This invention is related to the publishing of the works (all kinds and types of digital or printed, audio books, scientific articles or papers, scripts, articles, peer-reviewed publications, magazines and journals of every kind, etc.), by means of Qualified Intellectual Property (QIP) and time stamp, by the author or title holder publishing house, uniquely in digital environment in the form of both first production and second-hand product and in any language whatsoever with the support of artificial intelligence, either by creating its own network or for running in polygon network or other networks (these networks indeed vary depending upon the licensing processes in blockchain and the working dynamics of each network, but polygon is only one of them and is exemplary), through working in more than one blockchain or via interchain passages, and with the support of smart contracts developed by Ethereum network (stands for internodal links and passages and for links in nodes), in line with the blockchain technology, as well as the duplication, promotion, distribution and sales services thereof, and again on NFT base, the promotion, marketing, distribution and sales of the works in metaverse (digital universe), and the detection and follow-up of infringements on copyrights with the help of algorithms, and the provision of such services to the author/publishing house in this aspect as well, and in these sales and/or promotion and marketing activities, for the sake of preservation of forest areas and nature with each transaction, and for follow-up of trees grown and contributions made to the nature, and for transparency therein, through registration of the same on blockchain, and timing thereof, and follow-up of its unchangeable and approved structure and process, and the distribution of token gifts again to authors or related interests through the market, and the distribution of various token as it is read or as the works are created.
2.1. As the name suggests, printed publications are produced, distributed, marketed and sold in publishing houses by physical printing. Likewise, articles are also published on various platforms through various internet service providers.
2.2. Again, with the exception of printed publications, any work belonging to the author is taken under protection by means of registration and protection processes through notaries or registration/copyright institutions for a certain period of time and solely within the borders of a certain geographical area.
2.3. Again, the copying and pirated sale of all kinds of works have become untraceable for this reason, thereby leading to unregistered earnings to the detriment of authors and other related right holders.
2.4. Author, publisher or right holder cannot generate income from the second-hand sale of the work. In this sense, the second-hand sales of these works remain unrecorded and untraceable for author and/or right holder.
2.5. Due to high costs of printed publications, neither author nor processor of a translation text with a prior license received from author can financially afford to publish his work, or market the resulting product, and most importantly, the costs double until the work reaches readers, and it becomes impossible to trace and determine the real value of the work.
2.6. Although the exercise of certain rights and authorizations by publishing houses on behalf of author (academician, researcher, screenwriter, educator, poet, article writer-BRIEFLY AUTHOR) (likewise the protection of certain rights by publishing houses) is a facilitating process for author, it causes an increase in costs in the processes that bring author and reader together.
Taken together, all of them result not only in unnecessary costs, but also in great damage to nature. On the other hand, a number of unnecessary transactions increasing the costs take place between author on one side and the party accessing the work on the other side.
2.7. Publishers or various internet service providers or websites and/or applications are not able to track the processes of plagiarism, pirated sale, and unauthorized copying of the work.
2.8. Especially today and in the developing technological process, securing and tracking the work (periodicals, non-periodicals, books, etc.) will and have already become very easy with the digital coding and encryption method, thus gaining an ongoing and growing momentum. The relief of author from the monopoly of publishing house will also make it much easier for the work to reach readers.
2.9. NFT (QIP) is the English abbreviation for non-fungible token, also translated into Turkish as “Qualified Intellectual Property”. The English equivalent thereof is “non-fungible token”. NFT is a unit of data that certifies the uniqueness of any digital file in digital ledger on the blockchain. It is essentially known as a digital collection developed as a result of smart contract provided by Ethereum chain. It can be created and reproduced in different chains and sold in NFT markets. So far, however, NFTs have only been created, reproduced and sold in the form of collections. It is a virtually-augmented reality file that contains the unique encoding of token ID and contract address, i.e. digital address code and a combination of this address. NFT is not processable as a substitute, nor can it be altered or tampered with. NFTs are formed when cryptographic hash sequence records, a set of characters that verify the uniqueness of a data set, are strung onto previous records, thus creating a chain of identifiable data blocks. This cryptographic transaction process authenticates each digital file by providing a digital signature that is used to track NFT ownership. Author can convert it to NFT as many times as he wishes.
2.10. Again, in the current situation, where holder of NFT and author are not the same person, the determination of who the right holder is, in fact who the author is, is still an issue to be overcome. This issue can be resolved in the pre-NFT process with a timestamp/digital signature and the work can be converted into an NFT. This is not currently in practice. This can be secured in advance with a timestamp.
The main elements of blockchain are security, decentralization, privacy and transparency. This is achieved in different ways. Proof Of Work and Proof Of Stake have been developed in its working logic. Proof Of Work works with the logic of compromise and mining. Each piece of data that wants to be included in blockchain network needs to be approved by the entire network, resulting in a mining service where this approval process is carried out every 10 minutes and blocks are formed, in return for which a reward mechanism is operated. Proof Of Stake is intended to provide and increase the chance of reward as much as the amount pledged by the networks included in the system rather than mining services. In the first case, Proof Of Work was disadvantageous in terms of speed and energy, so Proof Of Stake was developed in 2012. Then scalability came into play this time. Network interoperability and transitions are also processes that are currently being evaluated and developed.
An alternative to the exemplary chains is the POLYGON blockchain. This is because polygon minimizes scaling, speed and costs by using side-chains (rollups), i.e. by running off-chain and running the data later with plasma security and Proof Of Stake, ensuring that data is included in the network periodically. Moreover, it seems to be the most suitable chain to run for NFT platform with polygon or different chain alternatives. In summary, some transactions are made outside (outside the blockchain) and are summarized (in the sidechain) in a certain cryptographic order and then added to the main chain, which greatly reduces traffic and GAS costs.
Moreover, the mentioned DAPP (blockchain application) is not produced on NFT platform-market. In this respect, as stated, it is incomplete.
2.12. Now, let's look at what kind of a world the current web 2.0 and web 3.0, which we are preparing to transition to and even starting to transition to, offer us: In summary, Web 2.0, as it is known, is the embodiment of centralized structures on the internet. By going beyond the limited network of Web 1.0, we can talk about a structure that became valid with the spread of internet all over the world. Web 3.0, on the other hand, is a structure based on decentralization, where nodes are involved in the whole process, where fair participation can be ensured through transparent, consensus/agreement protocols. In any case, the internet is user-friendly. With Web 2.0, we have witnessed and are witnessing that Facebook, Google, Amazon, etc. generate revenue from user data and that this is not shared fairly with any user, or even not shared at all. Already web 3.0 is turning this on its head, creating innovation and devastating impact that enables also all participants to monetize their own data in particular. In this sense, present invention is relevant to the process and the technology that gives rise to the innovation.
2.13. Metaverse is a parallel digital universe connected to our physical world through multiple digital technologies. So it's actually virtual reality or augmented reality. Avatars (characters), which are determined by users in the physical world, perform many operations and vital virtual activities in Metaverse universe (virtual universe), which emerged with NFT and grew in importance and was designed entirely as an NFT, as if they were in the physical world. I think this basic information on this subject will be sufficient, as it has an equivalent in terminology and there are many sources.
Currently, there has not been and is not currently any distribution, marketing and promotion of NFTs that are the subject of the invention in any metevarse universe anywhere in the world. Thanks to Metaverse, it is possible to create virtual stands and display products thereon. With augmented reality, it is also possible for authors to exhibit their works in this universe.
Currently, such a practice has not taken place to date. Although some brands such as NIKE etc. are promoted and sold in metaverse universe in various ways, and stores are created in this way, no platform connected with the market, also connected with the works of the invention, has been so far realized in the metaverse. Details can be found in the invention description.
2.14. Again, in the current situation; in both physical and virtual environments; no social responsibility that would be subject to invention for climate peace, nature protection, the existence of a green world and the breathing of the world has been fulfilled, and no blockchain application has operated this facility between chains. The invention description explains how it works in an integrated manner.
The general working logic of the blockchain is as follows: I encrypt an asset that has been sent to me in a timely manner via a public key, using my private key, and send it to someone else. The system checks these processes every 10 minutes and grinds them into a package. Using encryption, I transfer a digital asset that I have proved to be mine to someone else with certainty through hashing (grinder). And I don't need anyone's approval for that. This is not just for a digital currency. It applies to all digital assets and is very convenient and secure.
Blockchain is the general name for a chain of consecutive blocks, consisting of sequential blocks in a timeline that includes the date and time information of the data in a sequential manner, where the first block is named Genesis. Each block carries digital signature of the block that precedes it, thus ensuring correlation/consensus. This consensus can be achieved publicly, with data distributed in a publicly visible way.
IN SUMMARY, IN THE DIGITAL WORK PRODUCED WITH NFT:
The aim of the invention includes the publishing of the works (all kinds and types of digital or printed, audio books, scientific articles or papers, scripts, articles, peer-reviewed publications, magazines and journals of every kind, etc.), by means of Qualified Intellectual Property (QIP) and time stamp, by the author or title holder publishing house, uniquely in digital environment with the support of artificial intelligence, either by creating its own network or for running in polygon network or other networks, through working in more than one blockchain or via interchain passages, and with the support of smart contracts developed by Ethereum network (stands for internodal links and passages and for links in nodes), in line with the blockchain technology, as well as the duplication, promotion, distribution and sales services thereof, and again on NFT base, the promotion, marketing, distribution and sales of the works in metaverse (digital universe), and the detection and follow-up of infringements on copyrights with the help of algorithms, and the provision of such services to the author/publishing house in this aspect as well, and in these sales and/or promotion and marketing activities, for the sake of preservation of forest areas and nature with each transaction, and for follow-up of trees grown and contributions made to the nature, and for transparency therein, through registration of the same on blockchain, and timing thereof, and follow-up of its unchangeable and approved structure and process, and the distribution of token gifts again to authors or related interests through the market, and the distribution of various token as it is read or as the works are created.
First of all, after the ownership and time of the work (any type of book, article, script, prescription, etc.) is secured with a timestamp, it is converted to NFT. Subsequently, the above-mentioned procedures for the registration of the above-mentioned work and the determination and securing of its ownership are also intended to provide the possibility of international registration in the virtual environment with the technological flow explained above and exemplified below, to the extent it complies with the legislation of the country which governs it and by following the legal changes or amendments (obligations such as banderrol etc., rights currently granted to publishing houses and compliance with the copyright obligations of the country where it is located and organized as NFT PUBLICATIONS). Here novelty is the following: first of all, it is aimed to bring together the writer (author and/or creator) and the reader in a metaverse world in a digital/virtual environment.
In terms of the NFT, as already mentioned above, only NFT works bought and sold by collectors are available on various platforms (e.g. NFT markets such as OPENSEA, RARIBLE, etc.). However, none of these and similar ones are related to the creation, sale, distribution, copying, second-hand sale of all kinds of digital or printed, audio books, scientific articles, scripts, articles, peer-reviewed publications, all kinds of magazines, journals, etc. as NFT, but only provide services for various digital collections. Currently, no NFT market in the world provides the sale or distribution of printed, audio books, scientific articles, scripts, articles, peer-reviewed publications, all kinds of magazines, journals, etc. by creating the NFT on the same platform (market). On the other hand, the said transaction will be digitally proven with a timestamp. Again, various algorithms will be used to track the traces of unauthorized copy on nodes. This is because the blockchain contains immutable and indelible data and allows accessibility in any situation.
The invention will now be described by referring to the attached figures, whereby the features of the invention will be understood more clearly. However, it is not intended to limit the invention to these particular embodiments. On the contrary, it is aimed to involve all alternatives, modifications, and equivalents without departing from the scope of the present invention as defined in the attached claims. It should be noted that the details shown herein are only for illustrating the preferred embodiments of the present invention, and for providing the most useful and clear description of both the illustration of methods, and the principles and conceptual features of the present invention. In these drawings,
1. Authors and Publishers, and Other Persons Wishing to Produce Digital Evidence with Time Stamps,
2. With the artificial intelligence developer, the publisher/writer/author can market books, view book sales rates, make cost-profit analysis,
3. Artificial Intelligence/AI: With the help of a software or computer program with a learning mechanism, facilitating the processes of the author and/or users as a result of motivation, experience-algorithmic learning, making the process easier, developing options according to user habits. Tracking pirated works, tracking unauthorized works on the blockchain with an algorithmic system,
4. Token: Providing rewards in stages to those who buy, read and publish works, in short, to users, paying exchange fees with the accumulated rewards, and covering the costs of creating NFTs,
5. Works are uploaded to our decentralized storage by the author/publishing house. Data kept in a secure environment can also be exported. It can also be edited by the publisher or the writer.
6. NFT: Any kind of work can be converted into NFT by the author/publisher in our market. Here, at the same time, both the timestamp processes and the registration of authorship are processed in the system with smart contracts. The NFT ID number defined for each work is unique. During the NFT conversion process, the amount of profit that the author wishes to obtain for second-hand sales can also be determined by the author.
7. STORE/MARKET: The NFT created in our market will be available in the market/store as a limited version. It will be listed for sale. The reader will also be able to access the works in audio format. So he will be able to listen it as an audio book.
8. EXCHANGE-SALE PROCESSES: It will be possible to purchase the NFT work created by the author/publishing house and to sell the purchased work to someone else on second hand.
9. SECOND HAND SALES: The person who purchases the work will also earn income when second-hand sales of the work take place in accordance with the smart contract rules determined by the author, i.e. second-hand sales profit rules.
10. SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY: In order to contribute to nature by the publisher or user of the NFT work created in our market, or by the system/market, blockchain will also be a guide for contribution by operating or creating a harmonized blockchain process or transitioning between different chains, and confirming the physical follow-up of forestation and contribution to nature.
3.1. As can be seen in
3.2.
3.3.
3.4.
3.5—In
Blockchain technology, as the name suggests, is based on the principle that blocks are strung together like a string to form a chain, and the information in this chain can be downloaded and stored, and the blocks to be added to the chain are decided by anyone in the world.
Blocks store the transfer data. New transfers are written in new blocks. This is where the issue of transaction fees comes from.
Each block has a capacity. In Bitcoin, blocks are 1 MB in size (we will continue with the 1 MB example, although 2 MB blocks can be produced with the SegWit softfork), and the average number of transfers that 1 MB of data can carry is 3,000. Since each block takes 10 minutes:
If 300 transactions are made in 1 minute, the formula 300/60=5 is the number of transactions per second.
If Bitcoin were to issue 1 GB blocks every second, all the Bitcoin blockchain record keepers per second in the world would not be able to keep up with the speed (too many HardDisks or SSDs would be needed to store all the data, or high-speed internet to download every block before time runs out) and the data would become out of sync, resulting in the blockchain to fail.
Therefore, we can't make the blocks too fast, as well as we can't make them too big. Our processing capacity remains at a certain limit.
Every transaction you make on Ethereum has a GAS fee. For example:
As you can see, the fee for each transaction is different in Ethereum. This is because not only BTC is sent on the network such as Bitcoin. The more complex the process becomes, the more space you take up in the block.
And miners will charge you more to take up space in the Ethereum block. Contrary to popular belief, ETH is very cheap to send. However, adding Liquidity on Uniswap and borrowing DAI on Compound Finance is extremely complex, takes up much more space on the block, and is therefore EXPENSIVE.
The way to reduce these costs and increase speed is through side chain rollup. Polygon is just one example of this system. Different improvements are also available. However, given the capacity of the NFT, the study should be carried out in this way.
4.1. Above, we have summarized the current situation of what blockchain, ETHEREUM, Smart Contracts, Metaverse and NFT are and what they serve and what kind of technology they contain.
4.2. Some observations were also made about the creation, publication and marketing of works on certain platforms (NFT marketplaces/markets). When we look at these platforms (RARIBLE, OPENSEA are the most well-known NFT marketplaces), all kinds of digital or printed, audio books, scientific articles, scripts, articles, peer-reviewed publications, all kinds of magazines, journals, etc. are not created, only works that are collections and created with some digital codes and/or a certain algorithm are/were created and are/were marketed as collections. The aforementioned works do not provide the service of our invention in any case and in any example.
4.3. The work we will create in our market will actually be internationally registered with the time stamp following its creation. To clarify, even if the registration is not made by the official authorities for the purpose of copyright, it will be valid in terms of proof and timing of ownership. In fact, it will be treated as a kind of international notary registration process. By making this timestamp on the blockchain, an indelible, unalterable proof of the work or proof of ownership will be created that will be valid anywhere in the world. Blockchain works as a distributed ledger or network. Unlike centralized networks (as in web 1.0-web 2.0), it has defined a decentralized structure and model. In fact, the working logic of this structure was summarized in 2009 by Satoshi Nakamoto in his article P2P: peer-to-peer transfer. While this explains the digital currency era, it also explains the decentralized, consensus protocols that are in place in almost every sector due to the smart contracts developed with Ethereum, where all networks are distributed (these are nodes with processors of all kinds. What can it be: phones, tablets, computers, smart machines, interestingly even a refrigerator in the kitchen.
These nodes operate a approval mechanism in the way the blockchain works for each block added to the network. With this approval mechanism, the security and confirmation of the data is also ensured. It makes it almost impossible to hack from the outside. Because each block is made up of this distributed data. This data is hidden by a hashing process. It is summarized by the Merkle tree. Since an attack on any part of this network or blocks will change the algorithm and operation in all blocks, the unauthorized intervention approval mechanism will be disabled as it will not operate and approval will not be given. In fact, it can also be considered as Byzantine fault tolerance in terminology.
So, in summary, the following can be stated for this part: Considering that the data (data-information) to be included in the blockchain system is transferred to very different and decentralized nodes, where it is encrypted with private and public keys, it is no longer possible to change it. The great thing about the blockchain is that every transaction since the genesis block can be accessed and tracked.
4.4. As such, it will be possible to provide security and traceability in terms of the work to be created, to determine ownership, and to prevent unfair interference. Most importantly, it will eliminate many bureaucratic procedures and minimize costs.
4.5. The positive aspects of the system have been explained in detail above. However, HOW WE CREATE NFT MARKETPLACE:
BUT IN NFT MARKET THE SITUATION IS SLIGHTLY DIFFERENT AND CLOSE TO PERFECT:
4.6. After the NFT work is offered for sale by the author, it is also possible for the author to interact directly with the buyer and for the author and the addressee to come together on the NFT MARKET platform. Mutual discussion on the work, exchange of ideas will be possible on Discord etc. platforms. By creating a community, information sharing and level discussions will become more enjoyable. On the other hand, each author will be able to expand the areas of effectiveness and efficiency on their NFT page.
4.7. The work can also be marketed and shared on METAVERSE. It is explained as follows:
After the work is created in the NFT MARKET, the promotion of the relevant work at the work stand to be created in the virtual world integrated with METAVERSE or at a fair organization, even the creation of signing and interview days in this METAVERSE universe, and the realization of community activities in this universe will also yield very positive results. Moreover, renting a stand in the virtual universe at the aforementioned fair (which will provide a market) will cost considerably less than in the physical world. In fact, the application of these virtual fairs to every line of business will have a very cost-reducing effect. The only handicap here is the development of user habits. This will be achieved over time.
It will also be possible for the work to be written in several languages depending on the author and to be created as an NFT. This will be possible with the language translation and enhancement option in the NFT MARKET. For example, selling a work written in Turkish by translating it into different languages in the market with the help of artificial intelligence will be an option offered to the author.
In the METAVERSE universe (virtual world-augmented reality), considering that it is formed entirely with NFT logic as a combination and that the codes are determined by this chain model, the visual presentation of the works will be very enjoyable and will yield awareness-raising results.
The encryption mechanism ensures that all digital assets are securely transferred from one party to another without the need for any intermediary. We are talking about an outcome that eliminates decentralization.
