Myths and facts about copyright deposit

True or False ?

Sending a registered letter to yourself is enough proof

The reality

False. The "poor man's copyright" has no solid evidentiary value in court. The envelope can be opened and resealed, and the postmark does not prove the contents.

True or False ?

INPI protects my creations worldwide

The reality

False. INPI's e-Soleau is a French system, recognized only in France. For international protection, you need a deposit valid under the Berne Convention (181 countries).

True or False ?

A blockchain deposit replaces a bailiff's report

The reality

False. The legal value of blockchain is not yet established in French case law. A court may reject blockchain proof if it is not accompanied by an eIDAS qualified timestamp.

True or False ?

You need a lawyer to protect your works

The reality

False. Copyright is automatic upon creation. An online deposit (like Copyright01) constitutes enforceable proof of prior existence without a lawyer.

Frequently asked questions

For most creators, Copyright01 offers the best value: free for the first 3 deposits, instant, all formats accepted, valid in 181 countries.

Yes. A deposit with certified timestamp and SHA-512 fingerprint constitutes enforceable proof of prior existence in court.

Blockchain provides decentralized proof of existence, but its legal value is not yet established in French case law. An eIDAS qualified timestamp is more reliable.

A notary report has the highest legal value, but costs at least 200 EUR, takes weeks and does not handle digital files. Online deposit is instant and covers all formats.

The first 3 deposits are free, no credit card required. Beyond that, packs (from 4.99 EUR) and subscriptions are available.
