Week 18 - Invention Intellectual Property and Income:

Assignment:Develop a plan for dissemination of your final project

Invention

The objective of this final project is to improve and give a alternative solution to the Precious Plastic Extruder Machine instead of becoming just another extruder this will be built on top of a existing Community!

Intellectual Property

The project is Open Source Hardware and Software. What does it mean? Open Source is more and more an important way to share not only your ideas but also to receive feedback and implementation by the others. By sharing my work Ill be taping into a greater community that will help to involve and upgrade the Precious Plastic Machines. Probably I could use the Creative Common license. “A Creative Commons (CC) license is one of several public copyright licenses that enable the free distribution of an other wise copyrighted work. A CC license is used when an author wants to give people the right to share, use and build upon a work that they have created. CC provides an author flexibility (for example, they might choose to allow only non-commercial uses of their own work) and protects the people who use or redistribute an author's work, so they don’t have to worry about copyright infringement, as long as they abide by the conditions that are specified in the license by which the author distributes the work.”

Income

I do not wish to build a business around this product but to help in helping make the planet cleaner and a better place. This shall be possible through cheaper solutions to recycling and through workshops to sensitize the community about the importance of recycle! A income can be made through selling products produced by recycled plastic or event selling recycled filament!
