Wacom extends its Yuify authorship protection service to the ibisPaint mobile drawing app, enhancing IP security for digital creators

Executive summary: Wacom launched the Yuify authorship protection feature within the ibisPaint mobile app, enabling creators to secure and verify their digital artwork. The service addresses intellectual property concerns by giving artists a tamper‑proof way to prove ownership, which is increasingly important as digital art spreads across platforms and NFTs.

Who is involved: Wacom (provider of Yuify) and the ibisPaint development team (integrating the service).

Likely next: Wacom may expand Yuify to other creative apps and pursue licensing partnerships, while ibisPaint could see increased uptake from professional artists seeking IP protection.

Wacom announced that its Yuify service, which provides digital verification and protection of authorship for artwork, is now integrated into ibisPaint, a popular mobile-first drawing application. The integration allows creators to embed verifiable authorship data directly into their digital files as part of their regular workflow. The announcement was issued simultaneously in multiple languages, indicating a global rollout targeting the growing mobile art market. No financial terms or user adoption figures were disclosed in the release.
