The claim consists of a short sentence (maximum 50 words) asserting the originality of the creative element. This claim is crucial as it clarifies the extent of your rights.
The sentence is composed of three parts:
- First, you state that you are the originator of this nomination. For example: “I claim to be the originator of the nomination ‘CreaCORN’…”

- Finally, you conclude by asserting your attribution rights: “…and I demand the respect of moral rights, obliging all parties to associate this designation when using all or part of the creation.”
Refer to the reference example
Alain Souloumiac claimed the authorship of his naming as follows:
“1.5.1 I claim authorship of the name CreaCORN, which designates the Standard for the development and evaluation of the progress of a creation.
1.5.2 I also claim authorship of the names of other creative elements mentioned in this CreaBOOK (such as CreaPAX, CreaTHALER, CreaSURE, CreaCERTI, Souloumiac Multiplier, Responsible Authenticity Marking, etc.).”
Several scenarios may arise:
- If you have subcontracted a part of this work to a third-party organization, you will specify their role and include the contract transferring the rights in a footnote.
- If there are multiple co-creators, use the first-person plural: “We claim to be the originators of the nomination…
