COPYRIGHT PROTECTION TOOL FOR AI CREATORS
Scruple is a creative control capture mechanism that generates a cryptographically secured provenance chain for AI model workflows. It captures various user inputs and binds them to the model's outputs. This creates a record ready for tokenization that uses blockchain attributes to provide objective evidence of the artist's control over the AI generated output
The Big Cheese
In January 2025, the 'Cheese Copyright' case established a critical precedent. The U.S. Copyright Office granted registration to an AI-assisted work solely because the artist provided documented proof of their iterative creative process. This ruling confirmed that evidence of the creative process is the key to copyright protection for works created with AI models. Scruple provides blockchain-secured evidence of this creative process throughout an AI workflow, enabling the artist's creative control to be recorded in a secure and tamperproof tokenization process.

FORENSIC TELEMETRY
Continuously polls and records prompts and parameters in real-time, capturing a high-fidelity data stream of your exact creative inputs and settings.
BLOCKCHAIN ANCHORING
Secures the provenance record on a decentralized, public ledger. This establishes a permanent, immutable timestamp that serves as objective evidence of priority and existence.
CRYPTOGRAPHIC BINDING
Mathematically tethers your specific inputs to the final output using hashing algorithms. This creates a tamper-proof chain of custody between your creative direction and the resulting asset.
SELF-AUTHENTICATING
Establishes authenticity through cryptographic certification. The resulting token creates a verifiable audit trail, reducing the need for subjective witness testimony to prove the record's integrity.
UNLOCK THE VALUE OF AI CREATIVE WORKS
The authorship gap that has blocked copyright, fueled lawsuits, and stifled an entire ecosystem's growth now has a bridge.
Scruple empowers millions of creators to turn their AI-assisted works into protectable, monetizable assets.
DISCLAIMER: Scruple is a forensic evidentiary tool that creates cryptographically secured records for AI generative workflows. It captures user inputs, such as prompts, parameters, and edits, and binds them to the resulting outputs. This produces an immutable record ready for blockchain tokenization, providing objective evidence of the documented contributions. Scruple does not determine, enhance, or fabricate authorship or copyrightability, and use of the tool does not constitute legal advice or intellectual property assistance of any kind. Scruple and Docent Technologies are not responsible for rejected copyright applications, insufficient authorship determinations, or any other decisions by a copyright office or regulatory body in any jurisdiction.
SECURITY WARNING: Scruple operates within the host application or local environment. While records are protected through cryptographic hashing and nonce binding, the system is inherently limited by the security of the host software, operating system, and user's machine. It cannot prevent tampering with the host environment or underlying code.
PATENT PENDING: Scruple is actively in research and development with ongoing iterations; patents are pending on the system itself and related architectures and methods.
