Exactly my point. Complicated. And once you put a serial number on the DoC it becomes a Static Document with its unique document number and it has to be filed somewhere so it can be recovered someday if anyone asks for it.

I don't agree that the procedure outlined by John Allen is realistic. Normally, a company has one person who signs DoCs (well, maybe two). So for 'shipping copies' you just have a Word (or other fine word processor) template with the signature and add the serial number individually. I can't see that there is much scope for abuse; a fake DoC needs a fake product to go with it and I doubt many companies make fake products along with real ones.

It is hardly an onerous task for the CTO or whoever to sign the *original* DoCs. If it is, buy him/her a facsimile writer.

There is, of course, no way to stop another company making fake products; compared with the effort that takes, that of forging a DoC is quite trivial.
