Nel marzo 2026, uno studio IP zurighese ha ricevuto un messaggio urgente da un cliente, una societa software: un ex partner rivendicava la comproprietà di uno strumento sviluppato dal team prima che esistesse qualsiasi accordo di partnership. Il cliente aveva email e log Slack interni. Quello che non aveva era un singolo documento con un timestamp qualificato di un fornitore di servizi di certificazione accreditato. La prima telefonata con gli avvocati avversari e durata quattro minuti. Il caso ha richiesto otto mesi.

Non tutte le firme digitali sono uguali. In Svizzera e nell'UE esiste una chiara distinzione legale tra i tipi di firma. Comprendere questa distinzione, e agire di conseguenza prima che sorga una controversia, separa la documentazione applicabile dagli atti che crollano sotto esame.
