Invention, Intellectual Property, and Income

Assignment :

Develop a plan for dissemination of the final project.

Invention

This project is an open source project that can be made by anyone. It does not take too much time to implement and doesn't cost much. All the files can be found and downloaded from my final project page. Anyone can feel free to modify them as they see fit and adopt or improve on it.

Intellectual Property

Intellectual property (IP) refers to creations of the intellect for which a monopoly is assigned to designated owners of inventions; literary and artistic works; symbols, names, and images by the law.

Types of intellectual property

There are different types of intelectual properties;

Patent

A patent is an exclusive right granted for an invention. It provides the patent owner with the right to decide how or whether the invention can be used by others. In exchange for this right, the patent owner makes technical information about the invention publicly available in the published patent document.

Trademark

A trademark is a sign/mark placed to distinguish the goods or services of one enterprise from those of other enterprises.

Industrial design

An industrial design constitutes the ornamental or aesthetic aspect of an article. A design may consist of three-dimensional features, such as the shape or surface of an article, or of two-dimensional features, such as patterns, lines or color.

Copyright

These are rights that creators have over their literary and artistic works.copyrights are used on works such as books, music, paintings, sculpture and films, computer programs, databases, advertisements, maps and technical drawings.

I chose to use the Creative Commons. So I logged into their Website to generate the licence.

I first clicked on choices to allow adaptations of my final project to be shared. I also dont mind commercialization of the work for those who intend to, so I chose YES for that option

After this the icons were generated and a html code for me to use on my website.

This is the html code:
