No. There are several legal presumptions about the ownership of creation, (IP).

When your employee created work at your request during working hours, there is a legal presumption that the employer is the true owner of the work.

However, it is very important to know that when the author of the work is a subcontractor or a freelancer, the rights in the work are deemed to belong to him and it is essential that an assignment agreement be signed between parties to ensure that you hold the rights to the work.

If you are not the author of the work or it was created in collaboration with several authors, contact ArtizYou so that we assist you in the process, this is a custom service.

Filing an application for registration with the Trademark Office begins the registration process, which may take more than one year to complete. However, you enjoy the benefits of registration from the filing of your application, subject to your acceptance.

In Canada, we recommend that you do business with an accredited trademark agent.

Registration of your trademark may cost you between $ 1,000 CAD and $ 2,500 CAD, subject to the selected trademark agent.

For more information, we invite you to visit the Canadian Intellectual Property Office website or visit the United States Patent and Trademark Office website.

Registering the trademark with Artizyou is the most efficient, simple, fast, economical and popular with businesses who want to protect their trademarks while keeping an eye on copiers and competitors with the Artiz plagiarism detector.

Artizyou is not a substitute for registration of your intellectual property rights with any federal or state government or sovereign entity.  Please check with your territory rules or statutes or consult a qualified legal professional to understand these requirements. 

Artizyou allows you to record your intellectual property onto its indelible block-chain platform.  This feature may provide support or evidence necessary to prove certain elements, for example, the prior use of a trademark, prior creation of your trademark or artwork, or other salient details that support your claim to ownership in your intellectual property.

Artizyou can also perform  a “digital watch” of your creations that you register with us on our block-chain.  Our watch services may  warn you in case of counterfeit or unauthorized use of your block-chain registered intellectual property. 

Such a warning may uncover unauthorized use of  your trademarks, for example, to allow you to better develop strategies to enforce your rights and avoid possible “dilution” of  your trademark rights. Dilution of a trademark occurs when a mark is used by more than one person in the same market so that it loses its distinctive character, which is necessary to grant protection to the owner.

Our copyright protection service is built on groundbreaking blockchain technology. You might have already heard about blockchain, but for those who are not familiar with the term, it refers to a “decentralized ledger technology” that does not use a middleman to store and process information.

We use blockchain to certify your work with a timestamp that can be used to prove your intellectual property evidence combined with Artiz, a plagiarism detector acts through our AI engine. 

As the system is fully transparent and decentralized, it delivers absolutely automated results in a matter of minutes. You no longer need to hire specialists to track your creative work or spend hours browsing the Internet to detect plagiarism!

Artizyou takes care of all of the details so that you can focus on what really matters.

Our smart plagiarism detector uses Artificial Intelligence technology to trace any illegal uses of your copyrighted creative work. Every minute, our AI system analyzes thousands of pixels and letters on the Internet to detect any plagiarism and notify you about copyright violations in a timely manner.

Intellectual property is generally protected by law, allowing their author/creator to derive recognition or a pecuniary benefit from their creation.

For example, in Canada and most other countries, you can have your intellectual property protected by applying for a patent, trademark, industrial design, or copyright registration, at the Canadian Intellectual Property Office (CIPO).

However, thanks to Artizyou, it is also possible, for certain types of intellectual property rights, that automatic protection may result from the mere use provided that you can prove your property and/or previous use.

Creating an account at Artizyou is absolutely free of charge! You only need to pay for the b-IP certificate that you use to protect your intellectual property. Our b-IP certificate is a one-time payment of $85!

Moreover, you can purchase our yearly plagiarism detection subscription. This AI-based tool helps you automatically detect illegal uses of your creative work and copyright law violations – all for only $60 a year!

A patent applies to new technologies that are newly created and improvements made to any products or processes.

More particularly, the patent makes it possible to protect the technical aspects and/or specificities of a new invention. However, it is important to note that the patent does not protect the aesthetic characteristics of a new invention/process.

Note that Artizyou cannot help you protect an invention, since only a patent application from an organization such as OPIC in Canada or the United States Patent and Trademark Office, for example, can grant you this protection. We recommend that you do not attempt to protect your patentable inventions through the Artizyou platform.

A TRADEMARK may describe a word or combination of words, a design, a symbol, or a combination of these elements, that the owner uses to identify itself as the source of its goods (products) or services.

INDUSTRIAL DESIGN refers to the aesthetic characteristics, the appearance of an object and more particularly the shape, configuration, pattern or decorative elements, or any combination of these features.

It also represents the technical aspect, the creation and analysis of mechanical or electronic products.

In many countries, these rights may be protected through laws or statutes as well as under certain judicial doctrines or “common law.”

Artizyou is an innovative platform that provides intellectual property (IP) protection services for artists, writers, photographers, scientists and others whose jobs involve making creative work.

At Artizyou, we strongly believe that intellectual property is one of the most valuable assets in our society.

However, as the world becomes more digital, the risk of having your creative work plagiarized rises. Thus, Artizyou is here to help you protect your intellectual property with the assistance of blockchain technology.

Intellectual property generally describes “the creations” of the human mind.  It is most commonly associated with copyrights, patents, trademarks, and trade secrets.  Each of these types of “IP” has its own bundle of property rights that may vest in the creator (whether an artist, musician, inventor, or other “creative”).  

A TRADEMARK may describe a word or combination of words, a design, a symbol, or a combination of these elements, that the owner uses to identify itself as the source of its goods (products) or services.

PATENT protection extends to new, useful, and non-obvious processes, machines, manufactures, or compositions.

COPYRIGHT describes the exclusive right of a person to prevent others from producing or reproduce or “copying” all or a substantial part of a Work in whatever form it may be.

INDUSTRIAL DESIGN refers to the aesthetic characteristics, the appearance of an object and more particularly the shape, configuration, pattern or decorative elements, or any combination of these features.

In many countries, these rights may be protected through laws or statutes as well as under certain judicial doctrines or “common law.”  

In the U.S., you may perfect or register your rights in intellectual property with the U.S. government (and individual state governments too).  You might apply for patents to protect novel and non-obvious inventions and designs (e.g., machines, manufactures, processes, or methods), or for trademark registration for marks and identifiers of the source of goods and services, trade dress and industrial designs, or copyright registrations to register your literary, artistic, musical, or other creative work.

More information on how to register certain rights may be found at:

For patents and trademarks – www.ustpo.gov

For copyrights – www.copyright.gov

A registration with the government offices of the territory where you do business may grant you additional protections. For example, in Canada, the government registration of your trademark includes, among others, 3 main advantages:

  • It provides brand exclusivity across Canada, regardless of your actual place of business.
  • After five (5) years, your registration gives you a presumption of validity of your trademark.
  • Your company can benefit from the benefits of preliminary research before filing its trademark to assess the likelihood of confusion with third parties in Canada before investing time and money. money in the deployment of the brand.

The rights to a trademark are acquired through its use. That is to say, it is not necessary for a trade mark to be registered with a governmental body to confer on its holder a certain degree of protection. However, this protection requires proof of your previous use of trademark, hence the importance of registering it with ArtizYou as soon as possible.
