Authorship, Ownership and Independent Creation.
Deposit Materials deposited with EscrowTech can include virtually any form of copyrightable subject matter (any “work of authorship”), e.g., documents, drawings, computer programs, data bases, photographs, and other works of authorship.
The date of deposit with EscrowTech is evidence that authorship (or creation) of the work must have predated the date of deposit.
Software development projects can be tracked, showing dates and stages of development.
All of this can be important in the context of legal disputes concerning authorship of copyrightable works and therefore ownership of the copyrights.
The Program can be used to establish prior or independent authorship of works. It can be useful in supporting both claims and defenses.
