A Review of Blockchain Based Solutions for Intellectual Property Rights Protection and Management

Abstract

The fast and unbridled growth of digital content presents enormous difficulties for intellectual property (IP) rights management. Conventional systems find it difficult with the natural digital complexity, simplicity of replication, and broad illegal use. This paper uses a methodical literature review and an analysis of more than 39 research publications released between 2018 and 2024 to handle this. These were assembled using especially pertinent keywords taken from main scholarly databases. Our study of these published works reveals that the IP recording and verification process is much enhanced by blockchain's distributed, open, immutable architecture. Smart contracts automate agreements; non-fungible tokens (NFTs) offer special ownership proof and the Interplanetary File System (IPFS) guarantees consistent, distributed storage for digital assets. Still, this paper emphasizes continuing problems including user adoption, legal uncertainty, and scalability constraints. Future studies have to aggressively close these gaps by creating scalable, legally strong, and easily Blockchain solutions. Moreover, incorporating artificial intelligence will be crucial for their widespread and efficient application.
