Enforcing your rights using legal timestamp and bailiff: how and why?
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.
The most effective way to do this is to file a bailiff’s deposit, and there are services such as Copyright.eu that can save you time and trouble. With Copyright.eu, you can obtain your certificate of anteriority online in less than 15 minutes! Simply upload your files online, regardless of the format, so that they are dated, and no one can challenge your authorship in the event of a dispute.
