Back in 1787, the U.S. Constitution laid down the law on intellectual property:
"To promote the Progress of Science and useful Arts, by securing for limited Times to Authors and Inventors the exclusive Right to their respective Writings and Discoveries."
The Founders knew innovation was the backbone of progress. But here’s the catch—they never imagined a world where ideas could be tokenized, protected, and monetized on the blockchain.
Enter $NOVL: The 21st-century evolution of IP protection.
The Constitution set the foundation, but $NOVL is building the future—where inventors and creators have true ownership, without gatekeepers or outdated legal roadblocks.
$NOVL: Because Ideas Deserve More Than Just a Paper Patent.
