Document your concepts and projects with dated evidence
Dated evidence for your creations
All inclusive – No subscription
Are you a creator, inventor, or entrepreneur?
Having an idea stolen is one of the greatest fears of an entrepreneur. Everyone has certainly felt it at some stage of creation, regardless of whether it concerns business creation projects or ideas for products, packaging, marketing methods, etc.
The question is even more relevant since in France since, as a matter of principle, a simple idea cannot be protected. It is the resulting creation that will be protected, such as an invention protected by a patent.
However, there are important advantages to dating your concept:
- Firstly, it allows you to be more confident in sharing with business partners, especially when you are a start-up looking for investors. At some point, you will have to disclose your innovative concept,
- Secondly, you can benefit from the right of prior personal possession.
We explain it all to you.
Copyright for Concepts. Dating an idea has never been easier.
Copyright.eu, a solution to protect an idea or concept
Copyright protects the expression of an original work, not an abstract idea or concept by itself. Descriptions, drawings and other materials may document a project; any copyright protection depends on the applicable legal requirements.
A Copyright.eu deposit helps document the date and content of your files. It does not create an exclusive right over an idea or replace a patent or trademark filing. Choose the appropriate file-retention and confidentiality features before sharing your project.
Why choose Copyright.eu for online Concept & Ideas protection?
Copyright.eu helps document the date and content of your files. Choose Express for qualified timestamping without file storage, Standard for secure retention, or Certified for additional identity verification and the depositor’s signature. Guarantees and other features depend on the selected offer.
A qualified electronic timestamp issued in one EU Member State is recognised in all EU Member States. Outside the EU, the effect of evidence depends on applicable law. Compare offers and prices.
The benefits of securing an idea or concept:
- Simplicity of evidence procedures (up to 5 files for 1 deposit with the possibility of unlimited additional deposits),
- Obtaining a proof certificate within 15 minutes from 75 € excl. tax, is ideal before considering filing a patent later.
Copyright.eu filing with legal time-stamping and parallel filing with a bailiff as an option, is perfectly suited for all types of files. If you are filing a concept or a prototype, simply upload text files explaining the whole, photos and sketches if possible, and anything else that explains what is important in your project.
