Intellectual property guarantee

For :

Small publishers and digital start-ups

Why?

• Software cannot be patented. In France, it is covered by the same copyright as a work of art or literature, under the Code of literary and artistic property rights.

• To protect your software assets and limit the risk of controversy or counterfeiting, it is good practice for you as a small publisher or digital start-up to record events so you can prove you are the author of your assets.

• If a business closes down, its intellectual property ceases to exist, unless the software was placed in a repository and an escrow agreement signed with a beneficiary. (In this case the source code can be communicated to this beneficiary.)

Why choose Exægis?

• Thanks to our blockchain repository, at Exægis we offer regular, secure, time- and date-stamped storage for source code.

• As the publisher, you can give designated beneficiaries access to the deposit record for your source code and copies of it.
