Online Witness service Frequently Asked Questions
Is your certificate essential for court examination?
In all countries the courts will consider any evidence, including that of a third party. In most cases such evidence is the only one that exists.Do I have to register my know-how in a patent bureau?
A patent bureau is a 100% intellectual property ownership guarantee in the country where you registered your know-how, but not for every country where a dispute fires. Anyway, this will be an indirect evidence, of course like our certificate. The main difference is that a patent registration takes a lot of time and money, while a registration on our web site takes about five minutes and is free of charge. So we would recommend that you register your information on online-witness.com first, and then you can start the patent registration if you feel it's necessary.Can a disputing part disprove your certificate as a sign of collusion between you and the other disputing part?
Presumption of innocence exists in every civil country. If someone insinuates a collusion, he has to prove it.Is it possible to register a know-how post factum?
No, that would appears as a collusion. To save the good name of the service we will not allow that at any time. And what is more, we will take legal action if someone attempts this.Latest additions:
