ArchiCAD - electonic signature

[Anonymous]

Hi all,

I'm trying to find out a way to protect my work, so when I deliver a project in .pln or .pla format, to be sure that only the firm I'm delivering to, is using my plans.
I have the following problem:

I made a project, and I must deliver it to it's owner, in .pla or .pln format. So far so good. But I want to be sure that there is a way to put a so called "electronis signature", in my plans, so that noone can delete it, and when I see a plan, I can verify that is not mine, and they didn't just give it away to anybody.

So...I'm asking you: do you know anything that could help me in this matter?
So I can give the project, anyone can work on it, but still, I can verify that it is or isn't mine?

Check also with the local architectural institute.

They may have some guidelines or even client-architect agreements which cover issue of copyright.

It's always going to be a tricky issue to deal with.

Thank you all for the replies.

Untill now, I have not found any particular method to use to obtain what I want.
Finally, we used the simpliest and logical method...to sign an agreement.

Again , thanks for your interest.
