Having your IP i.e. your data scattered is not what you want. SciNote keeps it all organized for you with controlled access.
Control all changes in electronic records, sign and witness them
SciNote enables you to execute your formal procedures: entering data, locking access, signing and witnessing electronic records. Everything is timestamped, tracked and logged.
With SciNote you control who owns the content/data
SciNote does not claim any ownership over your research data therefore it is up to your processes and policies to control data ownership in SciNote.

How can SciNote help you when preparing to file for a patent
It allows you to keep all your data in one place in a structured way. Having your IP i.e. your data scattered around in different forms and places is not what you want. SciNote keeps it all together and organized for you, enabling you to separate sensitive information.
It allows you to control the access of users to the information. Make sure that only the people who should have access to information have it.
With SciNote you control who owns the content/data. Probably the most important aspect of keeping your intellectual property – SciNote doesn’t claim any ownership over your research data therefore it is up to your processes and policies to control data ownership on your end.
It automatically links different types of information, keeping records of your work (e.g. linking results with protocols and users, who contributed to the electronic record) and offers additional data annotations.
Allows you to control and limit changes to electronic records by using different roles on projects and by ability to lock electronic records to prevent further unsupervised edits.
Take advantage of SciNote’s CFR21 part 11 functionalities in the patenting process that help you track who created which information and performed which actions and when. SciNote enables you to execute your formal procedures for entering data, locking access, signing and witnessing electronic records with all activity timestamped, tracked and logged with an immutable audit trail.
How to control of the access to the information in patent-related work in SciNote
You can document your work in a structured way and control who gets to see the data that is so important to keep in a secure location.
Take advantage of SciNote’s project-based organization to keep sensitive data separated and under controlled access. Having your IP i.e. your data scattered around in different forms and places is not ideal.
Take advantage of user roles and grant individual permissions to data access. In SciNote, people don’t have access to a particular piece of data unless you grant them permission.
Have full control over who you invite to collaborate in the first place. Every SciNote user needs to be granted access. You receive a unique username and password which you have to use for identification every time you try to access your data, sign or witness it.
Control who gets the access to your projects and data within projects. Data security can be set up on multiple levels. Aside from logging in, an administrator-level user needs to grant you an appropriate level of access to selected parts of the ELN so you can ensure that only co-inventors and trusted people can access the content.
Data protection measures
At SciNote, we prioritize the protection of your data. Various measures are in place to keep your data safe.
Making sure no one steals your data. All encryption and decryption are managed client-side. This means that only you have access to decrypted information, even if somebody else reads the encrypted data, they will only receive gibberish.
Managing the data access. You can fine-tune who can see what even on the internal level. SciNote has a folder-based secure structure that ensures protection against internal theft.
Making sure your data remains intact. If you ever worry your computers, where files are stored, might suddenly break down, a flood or some other natural disaster might ruin some or all of your work, cloud hosting ensures data back-ups on a separate physical location to minimize the risk of potential data loss in such cases.
You have sole ownership of your research data. SciNote will not assume any ownership over data that is entered in SciNote.
