We have seen in the past that some of our diagrams and figures, available from our software, on-line help or the support material we deliver with our courses, have been used in other publications. KAPPA has no objection to this however we do ask, and expect, to be acknowledged. Since the foundation of the Company KAPPA has regularly and systematically and officially registered its software and supporting diagrams and figures. In addition the figures we insert in our published documents are bitmap exports of vector (Illustrator™) original documents that we also keep and register. So we can prove both the chronological and technical history of our supporting material.
