Protect your courses and learning materials online.
Dated evidence for your creations
All inclusive – No subscription
Are you a tutor or a training organisation?
Competition in the training sector is getting tougher and tougher, and it is not always fair. Cases of theft of all or parts of training materials are not uncommon.
The materials and documents that your trainers have carefully prepared for your clients may be used by another training organisation. The latter could challenge your authorship and forbid you to use them if you cannot prove that you are the original author!
How can you prove that you are the author of the courses and documents? How can you dissuade competitors from stealing from you?
To limit the risks of a third party stealing and exploiting your content and tools without authorisation, whether they are made available free of charge or for a fee, you can plan to establish proof of your anteriority.
Copyright for training courses. Protecting your learning materials has never been easier.
How to protect your course and training materials as effectively as possible?
The courses, tools or documents created by a tutor, or even a training organisation, are considered as intellectual works under the French Intellectual Property Code. They are therefore protected by copyright law, if they are materialised in a physical form (paper, PowerPoint, software of your choice, etc.) and if they have an original character.
However, how can you prove that your courses were created on a specific date, by you and not by someone else? These are the major questions that will arise in the event of a dispute.
Use Copyright.eu qualified timestamping to document your files before sharing or publishing them. A deposit can support your evidence; it does not itself decide ownership or prevent all challenges. Compare the offers to choose file retention and identity-verification features.
Why choose Copyright.eu for online courses materials and document protection?
Copyright.eu helps document the date and content of your files. Choose Express for qualified timestamping without file storage, Standard for secure file retention, or Certified for additional identity verification and the depositor’s signature. Features and guarantees depend on the selected offer.

The benefits of copyright law protection:
A qualified electronic timestamp issued in one EU Member State is recognised in all EU Member States under eIDAS. Outside the EU, the effect of evidence depends on applicable law. A deposit does not itself establish copyright ownership.
