We, on the professional creative side of the fence, know the value of our work. Professional clients know it too and respect the value of our creative input into their success … mutual respect for the creative process safeguards its integrity and value – and our livelihoods.

Most clients are, like most designers, decent professional people. But most creatives have suffered at one time or another from an unscrupulous client who wants us to work without payment. Sometimes they just ask for a free pitch (from 5 or 10 or more designers) and sometimes they simply take an idea as presented and ‘make’ it their own. It’s too late to protect yourself at the point at which the client has walked away with your ideas, concepts, Documents/proposals, Concept visuals, Video, Film, Photographic images Illustrations – but what if you could ‘register’ your work before you submit it?

Creative Barcode is an ‘Open-Protection’ system designed to uphold the value of knowledge & creativity in the innovation process.
