Bernstein is a blockchain-powered platform that helps innovators protect intellectual property with immutable, court-ready certificates.

Extended version
Bernstein is the leading platform for blockchain-based intellectual property protection. By anchoring cryptographic fingerprints of digital assets to the Bitcoin blockchain, an EU Qualified Timestamp Authority, and a Chinese Timestamp Authority simultaneously, Bernstein creates triple-layer evidence that is independently verifiable, globally recognized, and built for court admissibility. The platform's zero-knowledge architecture traces its roots to Clipperz, one of the world's first in-browser encryption applications, created by Bernstein founder Marco Barulli in 2007. Files are encrypted client-side, and only cryptographic hashes reach the blockchain. Founded in Munich in 2016, incubated at Wayra (Telefonica), and now headquartered in Strasbourg, France, Bernstein serves creators, startups, law firms, accelerators, and enterprises across 50+ countries.
