Hi Funtraveller,
Copyright and Trade Marking fall under government regulations so dCommerce or any online retailer would not be in position to provide such protection. The inventor must submit to the gov entities for filing copy right or tm or patent status.
Also, while dCommerce will abide by all copyright laws to best of our abilities, patent and tm infringement actions are wholly owned by the holders of those assets.
Thanks for your clarification dCommerce, I asked this question since I learned that a conventional ecommerce platform like Alibaba are actually stepping-up against piracy. I believe they will even investigate a seller and if proven guilty they will report to police and remove the seller out of their platform.
I also thought that a product authentication could be in a form of "smart contract" built to your system that can be used to legitimize an item - maybe a form of copyright as well?
Cool idea of using smart contract to authenticate products!
dCommerce will abide by all laws in which it operates.
