Protecting works for being able to prove later “I've done this on this date” IANAL but I believe in most common parts of the world intellectual property ownership is automatic. Patent is a means to obtain certain exclusive rights (e.g. making profit) off a particular invention. The OP says "prove your authorship" (and did not mention anything about exclusive rights or even IP) so I think getting patent rights may be regarded by some as off-topic. |

Protecting works for being able to prove later “I've done this on this date” I did not downvote, but possible reasons: 1) Patents are unwieldy to exercise and often turn into a money's game: answers.onstartups.com/q/23485/4628; 2) The OP is ambiguous about what "digitalized work" mean but I guess he's likely talking about "actual" product/piece of work, instead of just an idea/prototype -- patents are more geared towards the latter. |

Doubt on open source @Marcin Do you mean that someone who releases work under BSD can, retrospectively, exercise his copyright and say "OK, party's over Facebook. You are using this BSD framework and I decide that you must stop using it because I feel like it"? There are some projects that fork originally open source projects that have gone closed source, but the original project doesn't close down the forks. (Yeah, the author retains the copyright but that does not relate to the question ("what can I do with open source code", not "do I own that open source code because it's open") so it feels a bit strawman. |

Doubt on open source @DJClayworth again IANAL but how about the case when someone explicitly states that it is in public domain, for example? By stating that the author gives anyone the right to use it for anything. By marking a prominent notice of one of those "standard" licenses (like the permissive BSD license, for example), it achieves the effect of stating the author's intent, a bit more accurately and technically. Otherwise, what's the point of having those different types of licenses? |

How does “second to market” compete with “first to market” when the company that was first to market is very entrenched in the market already? +10 for concrete suggestions |
