Metagate has registered the OpenGate XR code in the Special Public Register for Computer Programs (SIAE).
Registration data: 24/10/2025 — Prog. D000027983 — Reg. D000026530 — Title: OPENGATE XR — Publication: 01/01/2025 — Italy.
What is SIAE registration (in brief)
Registration in the SIAE Special Public Register certifies the authorship of the software and provides a timestamp enforceable against third parties. It is a copyright protection on the source code and deposited documentation: useful in contracts, disputes, and prior art searches.
Note: SIAE registration is not a patent. It protects the text of the code (copyright), not an industrial invention. It complements trademarks, trade secrets, and — where applicable — patents on technical solutions.
Practical benefits for clients, partners, and investors
- Certified authorship with timestamp: strengthens rights protection and simplifies prior art verification.
- Version traceability: allows documentation of releases and updates with a verifiable technical history.
- Economic valorization: software can be listed among intangible assets (according to applicable accounting standards), becoming a tangible asset in due diligence.
- Clearer contracts: facilitates licensing, transfers, and partnership agreements, including escrow clauses for the code when required.
- Deterrent effect: signals ownership of rights, reducing the risk of misappropriation.
- Governance & compliance: integrates into internal processes (e.g., ISO 9001), repository management, and IP policies.
- International recognition: copyright is protected under the Berne Convention; SIAE registration provides certified authorship with timestamp also valid outside Italy.
- Procurement & tenders: clearly documents software ownership, reducing IP doubts in public procurement and projects with public entities.
