INVENTION, INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY
AND INCOME

This week deviates from the technical stuff and puts into perspect the non-technical but (equally if not less) important aspects of the design, business plan and commercialization . The task of this assignment is to:

• develop a plan for dissemination of your final project
• prepare a summary slide (presentation.png, 1280x1024) and video clip (presentation.mp4, 1080p HTML5, < ~minute, < ~10 MB) in your root directory

The project which I have managed to produce in fab lab is just a prototype version of a Medicine delviery Robot. During the design and development process I have learnt many new things and experiences many new ways to do things. So in future I will have a better understanding of doing things right to get better and cost effective results.

Business Plan

Currently i made my project the open source non commercial, becuase I want to share this knowledge with others. As being a teacher its my passion to share information with others and help them understand better.

In future, I would love to simplify and add further features in my product as I know currently it lacks many things and features.

For commercial products, I need better ideas and development of the project and this project will serve the base of that commercialization.

Licensing

During Niel's lecture I came to know about several different intellectual property liecense models namely the creativecommons, the MIT license and the FabLab liencense etc etc. I didn't have enough time to sift through the fine details of these models however the crux of these license agreements are:

• Every license helps creators retain copyright while allowing others to copy, distribute, and make some uses of their work — at least non-commercially
• It allows users to have freedom of work with safety

MIT LICENSE

The MIT License is a short, permissive software license. Basically, you can do whatever you want as long as you include the original copyright and license notice in any copy of the software/source

This is the MIT License

Creative Commons LICENSE

The Creative Commons copyright licenses and tools forge a balance inside the traditional all rights reserved setting that copyright law creates. These tools provide a simple, standardized way to grant copyright permissions to creative work. The combination of these tools and our users is a vast and growing digital commons, a pool of content that can be copied, distributed, edited, remixed, and built upon, all within the boundaries of copyright law

I have attached and secured the Creative Commons License, which is embedded in the webpage at the bottom.

This is all for this week
