Abstract
We discuss a simple trick for obfuscating a copyright registration, which can be useful if the copyright owner does not wish the general public to access the copyrighted material at the Library of Congress, e.g., in the case of proprietary source code.
Highlights
You need to submit a confidential white paper and/or computer code to your client, but want to protect your IP before sending it out
You create a trust with broad objectives, including handling your intellectual property
Make sure the trust has no income, otherwise it will need a Tax Identification Number (TIN) – the idea here is that the trust should remain completely obfuscated
Summary
You need to submit a confidential white paper and/or computer code to your client, but want to protect your IP before sending it out. You want to discuss your ideas with colleagues, investors, etc., but wish to have the peace of mind knowing that your IP is protected. Make sure the trust has no income, otherwise it will need a Tax Identification Number (TIN) – the idea here is that the trust should remain completely obfuscated.
