  • Publication number: 20220164804
    Abstract: The present invention relates to the field of smart electronic communication system and more particularly relates to ownership authenticity and ledger system based on Near-Field-Communication (NFC) or Radio-frequency identification (RFID) tagging systems. Existing systems and methods of authenticating ownership or partial ownership or shared ownership and maintaining owner related information and identity security linked to a product have numerous weaknesses. For instance, the safety of private owner information, such as a social security number (SSN) other personal details is important when a product has been sold by a retailer or a seller to a consumer. Specifically, when a product such as artworks, artifacts, designer pieces, collectable goods are sold, there is a need to have an authenticated document usually authorized by a third-party professional every time when a product has been sold or resold.
