Why it matters

Why software needs a copyright certificate

Code is copyright the moment it's written, but enforcement is brutal without proof of authorship. Stolen apps republish under different names. Open-source contributions get re-licensed. Stack Overflow answers turn up verbatim in commercial products. The blockchain timestamp is your independent witness.

Mobile app cloning

Your iOS / Android app is rebuilt with a different name and launched on the App Store / Play Store within weeks. Without prior copyright proof, takedown is slow.

Codebase theft on GitHub

Forks get private, renamed, and rebranded as original work. Public verification links beat the "git log" defense.

License violation enforcement

AGPL, GPL, MIT — your license only matters if you can prove authorship. Certificates anchor your enforcement claim.

Contract / freelance disputes

Did you write this module for the client, or was it your existing library? A timestamped certificate from before the engagement settles it.

FAQ

Common questions about software & code

How do I package my entire codebase for upload? +

Use git: `git bundle create my-project.bundle --all`. This produces a single file containing your complete repository history. Or simply `zip -r my-project.zip .` for a snapshot. Both are accepted up to 5 GB.

Does copyright apply to source code in every language? +

Yes — under the Berne Convention, all original source code is copyrightable regardless of language. Whether it's C, Rust, Python, JavaScript or COBOL, the same protection applies.

What about open-source code I depend on? +

Their copyright stays with them — your copyright covers only your original contributions. When bundling your project, you don't need to remove dependencies; the certificate explicitly applies to your authored portions.

Can I register iterative versions of my project? +

Yes — version tracking links V1 → V2 → V3 to a single chain. Typical workflow: register every major release. Useful for proving when specific features first appeared.

Does this work for App Store / Play Store disputes? +

Yes. Apple and Google's legal teams accept third-party copyright certificates as evidence of prior authorship in takedown requests. Include the verification link in your DMCA / counter-notice.
