Dalian launches 'Time-stamp'
The question of "which is the original?" used to be a major conflict in IPR disputes. But "Time-stamp", a new program for IPR protection recently launched by Dalian in China's northeast Liaoning province, is expected to help effectively identify original authors and avoid copyright disputes. According to a seminar on IPR Protection for Software and Information Service Industries co-hosted by the Dalian Information Industry Bureau, Copyright Protection Association and Software Industry Association, "Dalian TSA Platform on IPR Protection", or the "Time-stamp", has officially begun.
Time-stamp is an electronic certification, which can verify the time, ownership and integrity of various types of electronic documents. The time labeled in document is from the NationalTimeServiceCenter, which is tamper-resistant. Dalian is the third city to open Time-stamp in China.
