The IP.com Journal is the print and CD counterpart to the IP.com Prior Art Database.
The IP.com Journal is published twice per month.
It contains all disclosures digitally notarized and made available since the previous publication.
It may also contain some disclosures which have been marked to appear
in the print journal prior to being made available online.
The IP.com Journal is just one of the methods that IP.com employs to ensure that disclosures published
to our databases are permanent and forever available. Each edition of the journal is
distributed to libraries and law offices around the world
.
The IP.com Journal contains a table of contents of included disclosures, printed summary information for each disclosure, an index of keywords, and one or more CD-ROM disks containing each complete disclosure along with its digital notarization record.

The printed summary of information includes the digital fingerprint for each file comprising the submitted disclosures. Since every computer file has a unique digital fingerprint, this provides a printed record that forever enables proof of the exact content of the original electronic publication.
Most users access IP.com's Prior Art data from the website or from a periodic data-feed. However, IP.com also distributes physical copies of The IP.com Journal to various locations.
