The CHF 5 file that can save a CHF 200,000 IP dispute

Most IP disputes are not decided by who had the better idea. They are decided by who can prove it. A qualified electronic seal under ZertES Art. 14 and eIDAS Art. 25(2) shifts the legal burden of proof to the opposing party. Without one, you spend the dispute explaining yourself.

Week in review: Article 50, copyright proof, and what changed

Article 50 took effect on 2 August. A week of writing about it comes down to one idea: the rule asks you to make a statement, and a statement is only as good as what you can produce when somebody asks you to back it up.

How to seal and declare a file in under five minutes

Why a US copyright registration does not protect you outside the United States

A US copyright registration is a powerful thing inside one legal system and close to inert outside it. This is why it does not cross the border, what national treatment actually carries with it, and what a European rights holder can rely on instead.

The world has no copyright register, except the United States. Why that matters.

Under the Berne Convention, copyright arises automatically on creation in over 180 countries, with no registration required. Almost none of those countries keep a record of it. That gap is invisible until the day somebody disputes who made something first.
