El siglo XV cuenta con importantes transformaciones sociales y tecnológicas que marcan el surgimiento de una nueva era, moderna, con marcadas rupturas en relación al período anterior. La creación de universidades y su independencia de la iglesia a finales de la Edad Media había resultado en el aumento del alfabetismo y en una consecuente demanda de libros, que llevó a la ampliación del campo de trabajo de los escribanos. La posterior invención de la imprenta, por Gutenberg en 1436, y del papel, en 1440, posibilitarían la reproducción de los libros en una escala infinitamente superior a lo conocido hasta entonces.

La facilidad de reproducción, la alfabetización de un mayor número de personas y una producción literaria más intensa y diversificada dieron origen a un período de eclosión cultural – el renacimiento- y, consecuentemente , de una industria cultural en la que se destacaban los impresores y vendedores de libros.

A vital aspect in generating of our copyright certificates is the universal law of the services and products we provide.

164 countries are those with whom we work and where our customers are, all signatories of the Bern Convention for the Protection of Literary and Artistic Works, whose last amendment dates September 1979. The Berne Convention is funded by the World Intellectual Property Organization and is registered with the Secretariat of the United Nations.

The Bern Convention is based on three basic principles:

• Literary and artistic works by authors from the countries of the Union, or first published in one of these countries will be able to receive in each of the other contracting states the same protection as those granted to the works of their own citizens.
• This protection must not be conditional upon any formality.
• This protection is independent of the existence of a corresponding protection in the country of origin of the work. However, if a Contracting State provides a longer term than the minimum prescribed by the convention, and the work ceases to be protected in the country of origin, protection may be denied once protection in the country of origin has ceased.

In this environment of compliance with the 38 articles of the Convention, all signatory states agree that:

• The protection of copyright is spread equally in all signatory states regardless of their country of residence or the nationality of the author.
• The copyright of a literary, artistic or scientific work corresponds to the author by the mere fact of its creation.
• The obligation to register the work in the official records of intellectual property so that all rights are granted to the author is eliminated.
• The protection granted by the Convention shall be the life of the author plus fifty years after his death.
• The author shall be presumed, unless proven otherwise, as who is identified as such in the work, by name, signature or identification mark.

In this way, in the case that the author detects plagiarism or unauthorized use of his work by a third party and decides to exercise his rights, morals or property, he does not need to demonstrate that it is registered. He needs to demonstrate his authorship prior to the creation of the plagiarized work.

We cannot forget to mention the Creative Commons work-licensing model, through which the author voluntarily and publically renounces a part of his rights, for the purpose of the dissemination of the work. In the same way, our system registers and certifies works with All Rights Reserved or Creative Commons. A Creative Commons work is still always protected by Intellectual Property rights, provided that, for example, the author never renounces his right to attribution.

Digital Media Rights generates certificates of authorship or copyright to all digital works regardless of their medium; web, PDF, Power Point, Word, etc. Copyright certificates are digitally signed and include a tamperproof electronic time stamp.
