Intellectual property protection solution
All original works are protected by copyright, which gives the creator exclusive rights over their production.
Software has been considered an intellectual work since the passing of the law of July 3, 1985, which naturally confers copyright on all software designers.
It is therefore important to consider copyright registration, to facilitate the demonstration of proof of anteriority in the event of theft or plagiarism. Fidealis offers you a 100% online solution.

Software is made up of numerous lines of code that enable tasks to be carried out.
In general, software works like this:
It is extremely easy to shorten, lengthen or bypass certain tasks in the software, without altering the way the information is processed. This is one of the reasons why software is not patented in France. Because the result of a task executed by the software comes from a code X or Y, or Z.
Debates on software patents in France remain fixated on software unpatentability.
Software copyright entitles the creator, the team of authors or the individual or legal entity behind the creation to moral and economic rights. Authors thus benefit from recognition of their authorship, the right to publish the work, the power to authorize or prohibit its reproduction, and the right to market and adapt the creation.
To protect software and formalize copyright, software copyright registration is a reliable solution. It is offered by public bodies, specialized companies, notaries and bailiffs.
To protect a program, it is necessary to assemble all the documents demonstrating its ownership. Not only the software is registered. The project study and design file, the technical documentation, the source codes used to design the software and the user manuals complete the application. For practical reasons, software is usually registered with a public official or a company specializing in software copyright protection.
Fidealis takes care of all the formalities involved in registering and protecting your work.
Using reliable methods, the Group immediately protects your creation. Once your program has been digitally signed and electronically time-stamped, the software copyright is registered with a bailiff.
