Abstract: A system provides an immutable record of human creative output as one or more secure disclosure threads. The immutable record may be stored on a blockchain. Addresses to the data corresponding to the one or more secure disclosure threads may be encrypted and stored on a blockchain. The immutable record and the addresses to the data may be stored on the same blockchain. The immutable record and the addresses to the data may be stored on different blockchains.

Abstract: A computer method for licensing proprietary rights using a blockchain includes displaying a graphical user interface (GUI) to a first user representing a first enterprise. The GUI includes a selection object for selecting one item from one or more standard proprietary rights agreements. The computer method receives, into a server computer from the first user via the GUI, a selection of one of the one or more standard proprietary rights agreements for making a proprietary rights agreement with a second enterprise, and provides, via the GUI, an executable electronic document corresponding to the selected proprietary rights agreement to a user having signature authority representing the first enterprise and to a user having signature authority representing the second enterprise.

Abstract: A computer method for secure transfer of a blockchain token representing an interest in a proprietary rights asset includes displaying at least summary information corresponding to a proprietary rights asset to a user on an electronic display according to a user interface. The computer method includes receiving, from the user via the user interface, an order to exchange a first quantity of cryptographic currency held by the user at a user wallet memory address for a second quantity of asset tokens representing at least a fractional interest in the proprietary rights asset, writing data corresponding to a pending transfer of the second quantity of asset tokens to the user wallet address, and receiving data corresponding to the first quantity of cryptographic currency into a transaction wallet memory address.

Abstract: A system presents a media playback. The system receives a plurality of time stamped trigger data. The system reads a plurality of media segments from a media capture device. Each media segment corresponds to a respective time stamped trigger datum. The system outputs the plurality of media segments as a playback including the plurality of media segments.

Abstract: An event marking device marks the real time at which notable events occur. When a notable event occurs, a user causes the event marking device to generate a trigger signal. The event marking device includes a real-time clock. When the user causes a trigger signal to be generated, a microcontroller of the event marking device reads the real-time clock and writes trigger event data to a memory indicating a real time at which the trigger signal was generated. The event marking device outputs the trigger event data to an external device.
