WeCITE
WeCITE provides a governed liquidity layer for the knowledge economy, enabling protected knowledge to be discovered, evaluated, and licensed without exposing its source. Using its patent-pending Zero-Knowledge Discovery protocol, the platform compares privacy-preserving semantic representations of corporate R&D assets against public patents and papers, returning relevance signals while keeping the underlying formulation concealed. The system supports role-specific workspaces for pharma R&D, technology transfer offices, IP firms, startups, smart cities, and government agencies.

Problem
Patents and papers reveal only the published layer of knowledge. Inside corporations, experimental data, methods, negative results, and know-how remain unregistered, disconnected, or invisible to decision workflows. Without a shared representation layer, a corporation cannot compare what it knows with global knowledge, identify what to create or buy, or license what it already owns—without first exposing it.
Solution
WeCITE provides a governed liquidity layer for the knowledge economy, enabling protected knowledge to be discovered, evaluated, and licensed without exposing its source. Using Zero-Knowledge Discovery (ZKD), a privacy-preserving discovery protocol, WeCITE compares a privacy-preserving semantic representation of protected knowledge against public patents and papers, or against other permissioned representations, returning signals of relevance, proximity, and rights without revealing the original assets. This creates a third state for knowledge—neither fully public nor secret—where discovery and disclosure become separate events and rights can move through a secure, traceable, and permissioned path. WeCITE converts knowledge into governed, verifiable representations that can be discovered, evaluated, and licensed, with public corpora making the network robust and permissioned representations extending it into institutional know-how without exposing sensitive payloads.
Target Audience
Primary customers are corporations, research institutions, IP firms, startups, and public agencies that need to discover, evaluate, and license protected knowledge assets—such as patents, papers, and institutional know-how—without compromising confidentiality.
Features
- Zero-Knowledge Discovery protocol enabling privacy-preserving semantic matching across public-to-private and private-to-private knowledge corpora
- Knowledge ledger recording validation of identity, ownership, and rights for each governed asset
- Capability mapping that surfaces visible signals such as delivery route, evidence, validation status, and licensability while concealing the underlying formulation or method
- Rights orchestration layer that separates discovery from disclosure, enabling permissioned licensing workflows under corporate policy
- Role-specific workspaces for pharmaceutical R&D, technology transfer offices, IP firms, startups, smart cities, and government agencies
- Innovation density analytics for mapping national or organizational capability against policy missions
- Patent-pending protocol (OEPM P202630534) securing the underlying discovery mechanism
