Abstract
This paper proposes a design for privacy-critical blockchain applications with a focus on license trading: Observing parties shall neither know about the licenses nor the identity of the parties involved. On the other hand trading partners, themselves shall only get the information disclosed after the deal is completed. The proposed platform-concept enables trading intellectual property licenses while simultaneously decreasing transaction costs. The manuscript contains a concept analysis regarding privacy and security issues.
