Since inception, the APP has now over 8000 members.

The APP has filed more than 1000 pleadings or statements in connection with legal proceedings for the seizure of counterfeit software not only in France, but also in other European countries which, like France, lack a procedure for the deposit and identification of copies of source code.

More than 100 court decisions have adjudicated the rights of the APP. Such decisions include 15 in criminal courts, 5 of them after granting the APP's motions for summary judgement.

For ten years, the APP's initiative has proven successful in protecting software.

The APP leads the way to the future in management of rights in information technology. The APP now endeavours to set up solutions and anticipate needs with respect to the "all digital" environment for information technology, and short-lived physical embodiment of data.

This is the reason why the APP has undertaken the task of establishing an international identification system IDDN, in conjunction with INTERDEPOSIT Network, of which the APP is a founding member.
