London-based legal technology company CaseLines announced it has filed an application in the U.K. to patent a blockchain technology that would integrate into its digital evidence management platform. Taking advantage of blockchain’s ability to allow authorized users to create permanent records that cannot be altered, CaseLines’ technology will be designed to act as a record-keeping and digital evidence verification feature. 

CaseLines expects to develop its patent within the next four to five months. From there, it hopes to roll out the blockchain-updated platform into U.K. jurisdictions where courts are already using some form of cloud-based evidence management systems, including CaseLines’ product.
