Different observations and results could be concluded after communication with multiple patients and this is the simplest form of research. Not only the doctors and researchers, but even the pathology laboratory experts could also involve in medical research as they might deal with actual observations. The terminology is on any medical research multiple volunteers may get involve and research may go through multiple stages with different levels of conclusions and results. Major problems lie here when research gets completed the possible intellectual shares are equal to everyone in the team where everyone may have different and low or high-value inputs. IP protection won’t give any direct solutions on paper, and it has to handle mutually between every team member. Since IP protection process is lengthy, complex, and time taking process not everyone willing to involve into process but avoiding result into IP loss. Digital timestamping could solve the problem of quick IP protection and utilizing for future IP argument claims proof. Proposed research work primarily focuses on utilizing the digital timestamping mechanism for quick protection and future proof of medical research ownership.
