Should I use Creative Barcode® on work for existing clients?
Ideally yes. Creative Barcode demonstrates your firms responsibility towards your and your clients IP.
No client company has ever refused to accept barcoded files, conversely they respect Intellectual Property and clarity of ownership.
The App also includes a 'transfer of ownership' feature that enables you to quickly and easily create a Transfer of Ownership Certificate for your client on reciept of payment. You can list the items included in the transfer and the items not included where IP belongs to another party such as licensed in photographs, fonts, music and so forth.
Issuing the certficate keeps IP ownership clear but also adds value to your client relationship. They get a tangible confirmation of their investment, some of which may also be eligible for R & D tax credits
Buyers are also lowering their own risks when accepting barcoded files and agencies are warranting to their clients that their work is original and owned by them.
