Abstract:

The rapid growth of original digital content in both online and offline environments has intensified the need for robust intellectual property (IP) protection, particularly in the commercial biotechnology sector, where innovation is critical. Traditional IP protection methods, often reliant on offline registration with centralized authorities, present challenges such as limited accessibility, high costs, and vulnerability to infringement. This study proposes a blockchain-driven intellectual property protection service model designed to address these limitations. Leveraging the decentralized and transparent nature of public blockchain technology, the model introduces an image-based feature extraction and originality detection scheme using perceptual hash algorithms. This approach ensures that similar images generate comparable fingerprint information, enabling efficient detection of similarities and significantly enhancing resistance to tampering and plagiarism. The proposed model not only guarantees the transparency and immutability of copyright information but also provides robust protection against malicious infringements. By addressing the unique IP protection needs of biotechnological innovations, this research offers a scalable and secure framework that supports the commercialization of biotechnology products and fosters a more reliable innovation ecosystem.
