Protecting an artistic work is the first thing to do after completing a creation. Fidealis offers you time-stamped proof recognized by the courts.
Intellectual property protection solution
In the event of a dispute, the author who claims authorship of an invention or a literary or artistic work must provide proof of the date of creation. To guard against plagiarism and counterfeiting, it is essential to protect works from the moment they are created and before they are disclosed, by registering and obtaining a copyright on the work or invention.
This copyright consists in establishing unenforceable and probative evidence combining the date of recording (by a third party, a probative “witness”), the identity of the depositor, and the said creation.
Established rights of creative protection enable the author to authorize or prohibit the use of his works, to oppose their distribution if they have been made without his consent, to demand compensation (royalty, copyright, license, etc.) or to exercise his rights in court.

The protection of works is regulated:
As far as territoriality is concerned, protecting a work abroad, prior to its first disclosure, is a matter for local legislation. Indeed, local legislation may make copyright recognition conditional on the fulfillment of prior formalities, which must then be complied with (Article 3 of the revised Berne Convention).

The first right to protect a work of the mind is copyright. It protects original literary, artistic, musical or software creations from the moment they are created, without any particular formalities.
Protecting a work of the mind means ensuring that the original creation is neither copied nor exploited without the author’s authorization. This includes moral rights (respect for the integrity of the work) and economic rights (economic exploitation). This protection may involve a formality to provide proof of this right.
To protect this right, it is advisable to register the work (e.g. copyright registration, bailiff’s envelope, FIDEALIS, which combines all methods) in order to prove authorship and the date of creation in the event of a dispute.
No, the law that protects a work of the mind does not protect the ideas themselves, but only their original, concrete expression in the form of a work. When you have an idea, develop this idea in organized form, with a plan, and then it’s possible to protect an “ex-idea” that has become a project, a plan, a scenario.
All human works are first and foremost works of the mind. Some works can be specified (trademarks, patents, etc.), while others remain works of the mind, as distinguished by PLA (Literary and Artistic Property), which covers literary, musical, artistic, photographic and software works, and all original creations of the mind.
