For online processing, we have found that only files smaller than 1 MB are processed within a reasonable time. For very large files, our customers have got into the habit of sending us a burned CD by post, and we process it at head office. At no extra cost.
Registration provides irrefutable proof of anteriority in the event of a dispute. Without such proof, it is often impossible to assert your rights in court. Whether you’re an architect, designer, photographer or musician, your creations have a value that it’s essential to protect.
The deposit covers all your digital files: plans, photos, scores, logos, source codes, videos, etc. Once deposited, they are time-stamped and registered by a bailiff.
All creators wishing to prove the date of their work and protect themselves against counterfeiting.
