Comment: The right to ownership of Intellectual Property is based on the principle of anteriority. |
In some cases too, the information contained in these ancient records should be viewed with caution since it may be presented out of context in order to substantiate claims of product anteriority. |
This is why, failing a clear and undeniable proof of anteriority, the alleged inventor will sooner or later lose his claim. |
On the other hand, anteriority and posteriority exist in dimension as well as in numbers. |
This autobiography therefore represents a true certificate of universal anteriority for the inventor, who can thus concretely validate his prior personal possession and use it to challenge third parties in court. |
Thus, for instance, it is generally the date of publication in a specialized journal with a reader's committee that constitutes proof of the possible anteriority of a discovery by an individual or a team. |
