Invention - Intellectual Property and Business Model

Dissemination Plan

My final project has turned out better than I expected when speaking about Greentubes Platform and the ability to connect multiple sensor nodes to a centralized platform.

My goal with Greentubes at this moment in time is to use it for educational purposes. I would like to expose the university students and girls interested in Innovaton and Ict to Iot for Agriculture using Greentubes.

I will also be doing some field testing of greentubes sensors to test the wireless range and also add and test LoraWan to pcb design version 2.0

My goal is to also make greentubes sensor node enclosure to withstand outdoor conditions longer and also enviromentally friendly by making the enclosure using bioplastic combined with bamboo threads.

I am focused on using Greentubes currently for educational purposes because Iot in general and for agriculture in Suriname is not very popular and I would like to take the initative to bring awareness and train students in developing their own Iot for agriculture solutions.

I have no intention of turning any part of my FabAcademy final project or weekly assignments into business ventures that would give me income at this moment in time, instead I want them to be freely available to anyone for educational purposes. Because of this, it was a natural choice for me to go with either the Fab license or one of the Creative Commons licenses for the contents of my website.

Fab license: (c) holder date. This work may be reproduced, modified, distributed, performed, and displayed for any purpose, but must acknowledge "project name". Copyright is retained and must be preserved. The work is provided as is; no warranty is provided, and users accept all liability.

This work is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 4.0 International License.

Out of these licenses, the "Attribution, ShareAlike, NonCommercial" -license sounds most suitable for my purpose: "This license lets others remix, tweak, and build upon your work non-commercially, as long as they credit you and license their new creations under the identical terms" (Creative commons, 2019), so I have chosen to use that for my documentation. The Fab one is fine for all of it's simplicity - but as I want my work to be available freely for only educational purposes, I go with the Creative Commons

In addition, I was explained that the creative commons is meant for exactly those, creative works, and software works are covered by other licenses. Even though I personally believe coding is also a creative process, I have selected to use the MIT license for all of the code produced
