How to protect (confirm) the uniqueness of the layout?

Question

Design

Is there a way by which it would be possible to secure authorship even at the stage of editing the layout (in particular in Ai)? Maybe with the help of EDS or something else? Share your options

Answer 1

Authorship - deposition of the text of a document/program, including any visual images. You can describe the layout, make a description of its behavior and document it in MS Word. Then - to carry out the deposit of this work in the register of Rospatent.
Can be done here .

Answer 2

In addition to xmoonlight 's answer , it seems to me that notaries provide the service of depositing any text if you are looking for an easier solution.
But they only certify the fact that "DD.MM.YYYY in HH: MI citizen Ivanov I.I. had a sample of the text, the deposited copy of which I - notary Petrova P.P. - I certify", and then the court on date comparison Your copy against the date somehow confirmed by the opponent and the subsequent examination of the degree of borrowing.

Answer 3

Authorship is fixed automatically, no additional gestures are required.
It is recommended to leave all the source code of the work, ideally - different versions of the layout as it is created. You can send a printout of the layout to yourself by mail to receive a stamp. You can assure more severely if you are planning a harsh trial. But once again - all this is not securing authorship. All this is additional evidence for the court in case of any conflict situations. In most cases, it is enough to store the history of the layout creation.
