# Proofbox

Canonical: https://www.softwareadvice.co.uk/software/689470/Proofbox

> Proofbox is a defensive publishing and Proof of Existence platform that helps inventors and organizations of all sizes protect intellectual property without filing patents. It is recognized by the Swiss Federal Institute of Intellectual Property as a platform for defensive publishing. The software is cloud-based and integrates into Git workflows via its codeSEAL feature.

Core features include globally findable internet disclosures with paywall-restricted access, eIDAS-compliant electronic seals with trusted timestamps, permanent DOI registration through Crossref, and a hash-chain audit log. These tools establish verifiable prior art, counteract third-party patent claims, and support freedom to operate. The Proof of Existence feature documents trade secrets and prior internal use. codeSEAL provides tamper-proof, eIDAS-compliant proof for source code without transmitting any code outside the user environment.

Proofbox is GDPR-compliant and maintains complete data sovereignty. It serves as a cost-efficient alternative to patent filing with no ongoing follow-up costs. Support options include documentation and platform resources available through the web platform.
