ASSIGNMENT

 

1. Develop a plan for dissemination of your final project

Invention

Twinkle tricks had 2 sets of acts included into its making. Most important is its design that it had magnetic lego structure. The first set is to make the lego parts of the toy and the central body. The design can be an open source platform where people can themselves customize new shapes and concepts with the same electronic modules in them.The second set is the digital codes and the connectors design that takes all the functioning of the  toy. Both the circuit and the lego parts can be easily made in any fab lab. The design can be shared once the Fab Academy is done and later the circuit will also be available.

 

 

Intellectual Property:

intellectual property refers to the creations of the mind which in case here for the super arm and also other  inventions; literary and artistic works; and symbols, names and images that are used in commerce and other educational purposes. Intellectual property is divided into two categories:

 

Industrial Property includes patents for inventions or creations that are done, trademarks of the components or products industrial designs and geographical indications.

 

Copyright covers literary works (such as novels, poems and plays), films, videos and music. It also emphasis on the artistic works (e.g.., drawings, paintings, photographs and sculptures). In the case of super arm It focuses on the design drawing and the module derived that works as a parametric module that can be used to develop several customized arms.

 

Intellectual property rights are like any other property right. They allow creators, or owners, of patents, trademarks or copyrighted works to benefit from their own work or investment in a creation. These rights are outlined in Article 27 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, which provides for the right to benefit from the protection of moral and material interests resulting from authorship of scientific, literary or artistic productions.

 

A patent is an exclusive right ranted for an invention – a product or process that provides a new way of doing something, or that offers a new technical solution to a problem. Patents provide incentives to individuals by recognizing their creativity and offering the possibility of material reward for their marketable inventions. These incentives encourage innovation, which in turn enhances the quality of human life.

 

A trademark is a distinctive sign that identifies certain goods or services produced or provided by an individual or a company. Its origin dates back to ancient times when craftsmen reproduced their signatures, or “marks”, on their artistic works or products of a functional or practical nature. Over the years, these marks have evolved into today’s system of trademark registration and protection. The system helps consumers to identify and purchase a product or service based on whether its specific characteristics and quality – as indicated by its unique trademark – meet their needs.

 

 

World Intellectual Property Organization : Established in 1970, the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO) is an international organization dedicated to helping ensure that the rights of creators and owners of intellectual property are protected worldwide, and that inventors and authors are therefore recognized and rewarded for their ingenuity.

The Twinkle Tricks project can be an open Source hardware and product under MIT license. Since I started I don't want to license the project at any point.

 If you are working with the codes / hardware of the super arm then subject to the following conditions:

 The above copyright notice and this permission notice shall be included in all copies or substantial portions of the toy

Creative Common license:

 

CC is a copyright license that allow the free distribution and author can choose what it can be used for(commercial or others) even though it can be share,use and rebuild the same.

 

A Creative Commons (CC) license is one of several public copyright licenses that enable the free distribution of an otherwise 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 from concerns of copyright infringement as long as they abide by the conditions that are specified in the license by which the author distributes the work.

 

 

License for Twinkle Tricks

 

I will go with the Creative common license(Attribution Share alike) of the MIT License because I want to increase the network of interest in work and to increase the efficiency of work. As few things that I have worked on can be taken further and later developed in a major work to improve the technology.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Income Generation

 

I have not yet decided to sell the product, if I get the research work for the design and connectors fixed properly than probably could be money generating source too. Once the product is ready may be in future I might use it as the income generator if a start up my firm else will like to share the idea and create a DIY tutorial for kids encouraging them to create and make their own toys

 

 

Future Opportunities

 

There are chances in future to collaborate with the different organisations dealing with autistic children to demo and further improve on various factors find industrial grade plastics to manufacture such toy

 

I have selected Creative Commons CC-BY-SA for all the work that I have done and shared here on the fabacademy archive as part of my fabacademy course. As the work done by me can be used as a base for someone who need the data and can take the project further to a different level.

 

In future I might register to the Limited Liability Partnership( LLP) brand and company so the product can be an open source which will allow people to you it easily and develop it further.

 

 

Assignment 2: Prepare a slide and video presentation for the final project
