Intentional, Intellectual Property And Business Models
1.Summarized two kinds of licenses and explained why you chose one.
2.Imagined and outlined possibilities and described how to make them probabilities.
“A license is a relatively simple method or means of entry into the international market where the grantor agrees with the licensee to be allowed to use a trademark, patent or other element for a certain amount and thus access to the international market”.
As a FAB graduation student, I have to make my project licensed. So that I can preserve some rights over my project.
Intellectual property (IP)is a property right which can be protected under federal and state law, It includes copyrightable works, ideas, discoveries, and inventions for a person.. IP relates to intangible property such as patents, trademarks, copyrights, and trade secrets.
IP is protected in law by which it enables the inventor or the artist or concerned person to earn recognition or financial benefit from what he made or invented. It is a beneficial thing to the person who put his effort to make his idea in to a reality. It makes a balanced thing between inventors and the public. So the IP system aims to boost an environment system where more innovation and projects, Ideas will be getting created or made.

A Creative Commons (CC) license is one of several copyright licenses that enable the free distribution of an otherwise copyrighted work.
Creative common license is having the feature that an author can give people the right to share, use, and build upon a work that created. This provides flexibility to the creator. (The person might choose to allow only non-commercial uses of his or her own work) and also can protects the people who use or redistribute an author's work from concerns of copyright. The conditions should be specified in the license.

I need to choose a license out of this.
I prefer My projects and all other things in creative common license with the attributes Non commercial and No derivatives.
Why I choosed Creative common license?
It is a totally free and it can protect my right as my project will not be commercially utilised. Also it includes the clause of Non derivative as well.
Dissemination and income:
Firstly the best thing is that I came up with an idea what I can do in the FAB academy. I made a concept and developed at least a prototype or working model.
I can improve my prototype in future and also add some extra features on this project. Like communicating with some device and also solving the same or different puzzle like this. May be in future
I can market my product and as well as promote it using the social medias and other channels.
I can show case my project on Different exhibitions in my place also like the Maker faire like events .
After receiving the feedback I can make a product and check the feasibility of launching in market and later producing in larger quantity to earn income from my idea which is made in to reality now.
