The following are some of the FAQS or questions that have been put to - ©DateIt - about the free service we are offering, and also about the register of inventions and copyright.

Question 1

The name - ©DateIt - is unusual because of the © , but how would you pronounce it if you were telling someone about your free service.

Answer

Simply say it as C Date It - pronounced as see date it.

Question 2

Is the - ©DateIt - registration service only for private individuals?

Answer

Originally, it was intended for private use only, but there is no reason why it should not also be used commercially. Perhaps commercial users might feel better if they made a donation towards the running expenses of this service. Please refer to the CONTACT page

Question 3

The time allocated by - ©DateIt - at the time of registration differs from that shown on my computer.

Answer

This is due to your computer running local (to you) time. The time in Los Angeles is different to that in New York, which is different again to that in London, Delhi or Sydney. One time for 'all' is necessary - global time - (star date!) - GMT - Greenwich Mean Time - sometimes known as Greenwich Meridian Time because it is measured from the Greenwich Meridian Line at the Royal Observatory in Greenwich, London.

Question 4

I wish to register a logo with - ©DateIt - but its file size is only about 5Kb, is this too small to register with - ©DateIt.

Answer

No, not at all. In fact - ©DateIt - was originally conceived for such modestly sized creations.

Question 5

The large image that I have created is of very high quality and has a very large file size, and - ©DateIt - is stating that image files must be reduced in file size to 500 Kb, but this gives inferior quality if I were to register with - ©DateIt.

Answer

Agreed, the image might suffer lack of quality, but it is not the quality of the work or creation that you want to register but rather the content. In any case - ©DateIt - are recommending that you supply a hyperlink at the time you register, to your own web page, so that anyone can see the original work or creation in all its own glory.

Question 6

- ©DateIt - do not advertise a postal address, how and where do I send my hard copy?

You don't. - ©DateIt - does not hold any original hard copy. We have eliminated hard copy storage and the related storage costs. All we hold is the electronic data you give us during the submission and register stages - and the hyperlink to your page for more detailed information.
