The IP Exposure Calculator estimates how many original works or documents a business has left unprotected and the potential cost of a legal validity dispute over five years. It uses industry-specific dispute rates and average litigation costs to produce an illustrative risk figure, helping organisations decide whether qualified electronic sealing is justified.

Common questions

What is IP exposure?
IP exposure is the estimated financial and legal risk from having original works or contracts that carry no qualified protection. Without a qualified seal or timestamp, documents have no legal presumption of authenticity, leaving them open to ownership disputes and validity challenges.
How is the estimate calculated?
The calculator uses your industry dispute rate and average dispute cost, multiplied by the number of unprotected documents you produce per year, over a five-year window. All figures are illustrative and should not be treated as legal or financial advice.
What counts as an original work?
Any document, design, code, contract, report, drawing, composition, or creative output that you author and that has commercial or legal value.
How do qualified seals reduce this risk?
A qualified electronic seal, issued by an accredited QTSP under eIDAS Art. 35 or ZertES, cryptographically binds your document to a certified timestamp. In a dispute, the burden of proof shifts to whoever challenges the document, not to you.
Is this calculator free?
Yes. The calculator is free. You pay only when you seal a document folder on Swiss Trust Layer.
