REM License Token (RLT) — Genesis Artifact of the Reilly EternaMark Protocol

This record contains the first official REM License Token (RLT), the genesis artifact of the Reilly EternaMark Protocol (REM) framework for digital permanence and verifiable provenance.

The document “RLT_FIRST_TOKEN_FULL_GUIDE_v2.pdf” defines, demonstrates, and formalizes the creation of verifiable license tokens that bind authorship, license rights, and blockchain timestamp proofs into a single, immutable structure.

This first RLT establishes the dual-layer permanence model, combining blockchain immutability with DOI archival integrity, serving as the foundation for REM-based intellectual property licensing (“open patenting”).
