It is required to you

Instruction
1. Provide yourself with proofs of existence at you of copyright registered for a certain date. It can be done by means of such operations, as: deposition of the work in law firm or author's society, the notarial certificate of time and date of the work, use of opportunities of special Internet services or sending any form of intellectual property for the address by mail.
2. If you will use sending the work for the address by mail, do not open the letter before emergence of disputes. Pay attention to the stamp which is put down on an envelope, he proves date of existence of documents. But this way allowing to provide a temporary priority is not really convenient as is disposable and easily challenged because envelopes are ideally sealed extremely seldom and the opponent can say in court that he the letter was opened.
3. The procedure of deposition is carried out by the different organizations, for example, law firms and author's communities. Its essence is that in archive of the organization the printing copy of the registered work is placed, and to the author the corresponding paper confirming the fact of deposition and date of its carrying out is handed out. The procedure is not considered as the state registration of copyright and in fact, only fixes actually work presentation time.
4. The notarial certificate of time and date of registration of the work - more solid proof because it is carried out by the authorized person who has the state license. Such procedure, as a rule, costs cheaper, than deposition process. When accessing a method of the notarial certificate it is important that the electronic and printing document completely matched on density of the provided information and the size.
5. Use opportunities of the Internet services rendering services in forming of a priority. They are divided into two main categories: those which use own mechanism for fixing of time and data; and the services using services of certain organizations. The last of them are more reliable since they operate with the digital stamp of time which is considered as the proof of existence of the electronic document for a certain period.
