Protect and preserve
human provenance.
Human Mark exists to protect and preserve human authorship in a world where creative work is increasingly copied, scraped, and absorbed into systems that erase origin.
We do this by pairing a visible seal with a public registry that creates a time-stamped record of provenance—helping establish when a work existed and who made it.
While Human Mark is not a substitute for formal copyright registration, our records can support copyright claims by documenting initial authorship and preserving a verifiable history of human-made creation.
Mission statement
Our goal isn’t just to label creative work. It’s to keep a trustworthy record of human authorship over time—so human origin remains visible, credible, and preserved.
The Human Mark seal makes human-made work visible. The public record behind it is what gives that mark meaning—documenting who made the work and anchoring it in time. As those records grow, they form an enduring archive of human creativity.
While Human Mark is not a substitute for formal copyright registration, our time-stamped records help establish initial provenance and can support creators in protecting original work—especially as content is increasingly scraped, replicated, and fed into large language models without consent.
We believe trust comes from clear standards and careful use, not mass certification. Every Human Mark record is intentional and accountable.
We’re not anti-AI. We exist to bring clarity as creative tools evolve—while preserving what matters most: human intent, human meaning, and the human spirit behind the work.
