# Intellectual Property
> The RWANFT trademark is registered with the UK Intellectual Property Office (UKIPO) under the ownership of RWANFTFI Corporation — application UK00004369823, Class 42 (digital asset management), publicly verifiable on the UKIPO registry.
Brand protection is a foundational layer of the RWANFTFI ecosystem. The protocol's name and identity are formally registered with the **[UK Intellectual Property Office (UKIPO)](https://www.gov.uk/government/organisations/intellectual-property-office)** — one of the most respected and globally recognised trademark authorities. The application is publicly searchable on the official UKIPO registry, creating a legally enforceable layer of brand ownership on top of the corporate and technology framework.

The case file lists **Gresham International** (London) as the appointed IPO representative — a regulated UK firm specialising in trademark prosecution.
## Why this matters
UKIPO is a UK government registry: every application is published on a public case file that anyone, anywhere, can search at any moment. There is no "trust us" — the record itself is the proof.
A UKIPO registration grants legally protected rights over the **RWANFT** mark and enables formal action against unauthorised use of the brand by third parties.
The application is handled by **[Gresham International](https://www.greshamintl.com/)** — a London-based IP firm specialising in international trademark protection — adding a layer of qualified legal oversight.
## The trust stack — three independent public registries
The trademark, the corporate entity, and the smart-contract audit are deliberately layered. Each layer is published on a different, independent public registry — so the entire trust architecture can be verified without ever leaving an official source.
