Business strategies + go-to-market plans. The pitch you gave the VC three months before they backed your competitor with the same play.
Own the idea
Patents protect inventions. The Tower covers everything patent law refuses: strategies, frameworks, methodologies, pitch concepts, investment theses, business models.
Stake your idea — $5The US Patent Office grants 20-year monopolies on novel, non-obvious, useful inventions. It does not protect:
Business strategies + go-to-market plans. The pitch you gave the VC three months before they backed your competitor with the same play.
Methodologies + frameworks. Consulting frameworks, coaching methods, teaching curricula. Get reused without attribution constantly.
Investment theses. The market read you wrote up before everyone else noticed. The conviction you had before the price move.
Marketing concepts + campaign ideas. The brief you pitched in the meeting. The angle the client used six months later without you.
Product or company names. The name you brainstormed in a doc that someone else trademarked first.
Editorial + creative concepts. Story angles, character concepts, plot premises. Copyright covers the words; nothing covers the idea behind them.
You can’t sue someone for using your idea. You can, in many cases, prove you had it first — which matters in trade-secret disputes, contract negotiations, attribution arguments, defensive disclosure to block someone else’s patent, and the moment-of-truth conversation with a partner who’s about to claim it as theirs.
The Tower’s job is the timestamp. The Bitcoin hash proves the idea existed in your hands on a specific date. What you do with that proof is yours.
1. Sign in with your email.
2. Write the idea in full — the framework, the strategy, the pitch, the thesis. Pick the Sealed tier ($5).
3. Your browser encrypts the content with a 256-bit key only you hold. We see only the ciphertext. The hash anchors to Bitcoin.
4. Add a public inscription — a short label visible on your dashboard (“Q3 marketing brief for ClientCo” / “LP investment thesis on rare earths”). The inscription proves what kind of idea you carved without revealing the content.
5. When the moment comes — the lawsuit, the negotiation, the “wait, you didn’t come up with that” conversation — reveal. The plaintext matches the hash. The block height shows when you knew.
$5 per Sealed entry. The key stays with you; the hash lives on Bitcoin.
