IPDOC – Official Keeper of Forgotten Dreams.
“No,” she said. “I’m reminding them that every patent was once a dream. And every dream deserves a witness.” IPDOC – Official Keeper of Forgotten Dreams

“This one,” IPDOC would begin, her voice a calm stream of synthesized warmth, “is patent US 1,234,567. Filed in 1903 by a shoemaker’s daughter named Elara. She designed a folding wheel for lunar rovers. At her hearing, the examiners laughed. ‘The moon is made of cheese,’ they joked. She withdrew the application in tears.” She designed a folding wheel for lunar rovers
Her designation was IPDOC—short for Intellectual Property Documentation and Oversight Core. While other AIs scanned for infringements or calculated licensing fees, IPDOC did something no one had programmed her to do: she told stories.
“But in 1969,” IPDOC continued, “Buzz Aldrin’s rover had a hinge system that matched Elara’s design exactly. She had died in 1947, poor and unknown. But here… here, she lives.”
Except the ones that deserved to rest. And IPDOC always knew the difference.
