Home / NRS Services
Through a single $34.95 subscription, the NRS Subscriber receives a suite of registration and intellectual property management services for the 5-year duration of the subscription.
| REGISTRATION |
Registration is the process by which an author or company submits an item (usually a document, electronic file, audio tape or video tape) to a third party for time stamping and storage. This is done in order to build evidence for proving ownership or authorship of the work. Without third-party verification, proving authorship is obviously very difficult.
NRS Subscribers are able to register an unlimited number of items. This is unique amongst registration services but important since it allows subscribers to register items they normally would not want to pay to register such as unfinished works, preliminary works, supplementary items such as receipts and notes and other supporting evidence. Through a regular registration regime, a firm or individual will have a long trail of evidence to support a claim to ownership and/or authorship.
In addition to standard registration in which the subscriber submits items, NRS also provides for automated daily web page registration.

| ONLINE REGISTRY |
Each NRS-Online subscriber has an online Registry that serves as the central point for accessing the NRS services. The Registry is also a database for managing data pertaining to registered items and, optionally, other intellectual property that the subscriber owns.
Through the Registry, the subscriber is able to register items, set up daily page registration, manage validation links, create Certificate Codes and generate reports of data in the Registry. If a subscriber has patents or trademarks they may also be conveniently tracked via the Registry.
The actual registered items, of course, are not stored online and thus are not accessible through the Registry. Only information about the items is placed in the Registry and the actual item, electronic or not, is not kept online.
Furthermore, using the Registry is not required and a subscriber may still receive access to most services through customer support. Disabling a Registry will ensure that absolutely no information about the subscriber or their registered items is online.

| CERTIFICATES & ONLINE CERTIFICATE CODE DATABASE |
Certificate Codes and Certificates are mechanisms for displaying copyright ownership.
These codes allow others to verify, through NRS, the validity of a registration claim. Essentially, the codes are the primary method
by which subscribers can demonstrate to others that a third-party (i.e. NRS) has registered their claim to ownership at a particular date and time.
The Certificate Code Database will contain an entry with, at least, the Certificate Code as well as the time stamp of the registration. A subscriber may also choose to place additional information in the Certificate Code Database so that when a third-party verifies the code, they will also obtain other information about the registered item. For example, additional Codes may be referenced thus providing an easy way to ensure that others know you have a long evidence trail of time stamped and registered documents behind your ownership claims.
Subscribers are able to generate a Certificate Code and place information in the code database for any item that is listed in their online Registry. Generating a code is done in real-time through the online Registry and may be done at any time. The code database is updated immediately once the code and its associated information has been generated. Subscribers, naturally, may also delete codes connected with their items from the database. Click here to see the Certificate Code entry for the code 'CJ1/P279'.
Likewise, Certificate Images containing the Certificate Code may also be generated 24/7 via the Online Registry. View Example Registration Certificate Image
Users may have links at their site that bring up certificate images and entries. Visit the NRS Icons and Linking page for additional details.

| AUTHENTICATION |
NRS provides free authentication services to all subscribers during the subscription term.
Authentication services are used to demonstrate that an item has been registered and to confirm the content or nature of a registered item. There are two types of authentication: Item Authentication and Certificate Code Authentication.
Certificate Code Authentication is available online at the home page of NRS-Online and may be used to confirm that a Certificate Code is valid. By confirming a certificate code, one can be sure that there exists an item that has been registered with NRS-Online.com that is associated with the code.
Item authentication is the process by which a subscriber requests verification from NRS that a particular item has been registered and the date of registration. This method of authentication is typically used in disputes with others or for court cases and arbitrations. NRS-Online does not charge for item authentication and, in legal cases or other formal dispute situations, will also provide free notarized letters of authentication and notarized statements detailing how NRS-Online works.
