Protecting a software or a website with Copyright.eu
Claiming your rights: how and why?
All inclusive – No subscription
Are you the creator of an application, software, or a website?
You have developed an original application or website and the question arises as to how to protect it against possible copies.
We know too many stories of webmasters or developers whose source code or functional and/or graphic elements have been copied for other projects. With the Internet, it is easy to copy any type of content, and then how can you prove that you are the author at a certain date?
The purpose of an application or website is to make it available to the public. Before that, you may have to communicate regarding your project with third parties, business partners, etc.
There is a quick, simple, and affordable way to do so confidently: obtain proof of anteriority. We hope that our article will help you understand the subtleties of this subject.
Copyright for Software. Protecting an app or a website has never been easier.
Keeping dated evidence can help document the existence and content of your source code, software or website files before sharing them with partners or publishing them. Qualified timestamping provides the evidentiary presumptions defined by eIDAS; a deposit does not itself decide authorship or ownership.
Copyright.eu, a solution to secure an application or a website
It is important to consider establishing proof of anteriority throughout the creative process, to have irrefutable elements in the event of an infringement of your copyright.
Several solutions are possible for the constitution of this proof. To avoid long, tedious, and costly procedures in a notary’s or bailiff’s office, we have designed Copyright.eu: you can obtain your legally valid certificates of anteriority online in less than 15 minutes! On our website, you can deposit as many files (HTML, PHP, Java, databases, etc.) as you need, so that your application or website is well protected in case of litigation. This confidential approach preserves the secret nature of your files, which are secured on our platform.
Why choose Copyright.eu for the protection of software, applications or websites?
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 advantages of dating a software, application or website
- Simplicity of evidence procedures (up to 5 files for 1 deposit with the possibility of unlimited additional deposits),
- Obtain affordable proof certificates in 15 minutes, ideal before considering a patent application later on.
Copyright.eu filing with legal time stamping and optional parallel filing with a bailiff is perfectly suited for all types of files, whatever the programming language. In the case of a website filing, for example, simply upload the complete website archive (compressed files + database). It is essential that all the elements that need to be dated are present at the time of deposit.
