Do I Have to Store the Files?

It is critical to store your timestamp files and certificate for defending your copyright. These documents are legal evidence that prove you have secured your work digitally, and they provide strong proof against potential copyright issues you may encounter in the future. Therefore, you need to securely store your timestamp file and certificate along with your original work.

Importance of Storing the Timestamp File

The '.tsr' timestamp file is an official document that proves the validity and correct date of your work's digital record. This file not only protects your work in the digital environment but also forms the foundation of defending your copyright. It is crucial that you do not share your timestamp file with anyone. This file can only be requested by authorized authorities and used to defend your work in a legal dispute.

Shareability of the Certificate and Original File

You are free to share your informational certificate and original work with others. The informational certificate is a document that confirms your work has been timestamped and can be used to inform others that your work is protected by a timestamp. However, for the safety of your personal information, it is important to conceal any personal details included in the informational certificate before sharing it. Your original file, on the other hand, can be shared for professional or commercial purposes. However, please remember that the .tsr timestamp file should only be shared with official institutions or legal authorities when necessary.

Secure Storage

Storing your timestamp files, certificates, and original work securely in a digital environment is essential for asserting your legal rights in case of any copyright infringement. Additionally, keeping physical copies of these documents safely ensures protection against the risk of loss.
