We register your software with the DNDA
Your team writes code every single day, and there is almost never a record of who wrote it, when, or under which contract. We gather that material, put the file together and register it with Colombia’s National Copyright Office.
A lawyer at the firm reviews the file before it is filed.
From the code to the filing record, in three steps
What takes time is not the form: it is gathering who wrote what, when, and under which contract.
Step 1 of 3. We gather the material behind your software
We collect the product material — the version history, who wrote each part — and any contracts already in place with your team, your contractors and your vendors.
Deliverable: the list of what goes into the file
Step 2 of 3. We build the file and a lawyer reviews it
We prepare the filing documentation from the material we gathered, and a lawyer at the firm leaves it ready to file after reviewing it.
Nothing is filed without human review
Step 3 of 3. We file with the DNDA and hand you the record
We do the filing and hand you the certificate together with the complete file of what was registered.
You keep the file, not just the filing number
Copyright filings, based on who you are
Tell us who you are and you will see which copyright filings apply to you. This is the one that comes up when what you produce is software.
What it costs and what you take away
What it costs depends on how much software goes in and on the state of the paperwork. We size it up in fifteen minutes and send it to you in writing.
What a DNDA filing gives you
[ PENDING — legal text to be drafted ]
This filing has no published fee yet: it goes to quote. Tell us what the software is, how many versions go in and who wrote it, and we will send you the scope and the fee in writing.
The two timelines of this filing, and who sets them
These two are not ours to set, so you will not see a figure of ours here: a lawyer confirms them once we go over your case.
