Invention, Intellectual Property and Business Model

 

 

Assignment:

 

The assignment of this week is to make invention, intellectual property and business modeling for my final project. The goal is to plan a dissemination of my project.

 

 

Invention:

 

my project is about making a luggage bag with a fixed weight scale so that it can measure all the stuff you brought or bought in your travel without exceeding the airlines weight luggage regulation. The idea came to me while traveling through many airlines in a single trip and the policy weights differ from airline to another airline. I found out that it too exhausting and it can create stress to your back using the regular luggage scale that are available in the market.

License for my Project:

As per the idea of my project I a firm believer that   Creative Common License (BY-NC-ND) is my choice because it forbids anyone for commercial use and in the mean time I get my name on the  credit and invention will not be tweaked or changed.
 

Dissemination The Project

Since my project is in the begin stages and I need to complete my prototype thus  it is  too early to think of the business model or income coming out  of it.
