19. Invention, intellectual property and income

Assignment

  • Develop a plan for dissemination of your final project
  • Prepare drafts of your summary slide (presentation.png, 1920x1080) and video clip (presentation.mp4, 1080p HTML5, < ~minute, < ~10 MB) and put them in your root directory

Dissemination plan

It’s hard to imagine how to disseminate a project while it is just in its starting block! My first concern it to make a functional 1:1 scale prototype… The work done during the assignments is of course a good starting point, as all developments, especially the electronics and wild card week have been done with the final project in mind

But nevertheless, let’s think on the kind of license I would like to use.

Overview of what’s existing

In previous weeks I already search on the Internet what has been done beforehand, but couldn’t find a similar project, with deployable booth.

Choose a license

Therefore, I went to the website of Creative Commons, which proposes a tool to choose the best license needed, by answering some simple questions… As stated on the site:

“Our tools give everyone from individual creators to large companies and institutions a simple, standardized way to grant copyright permissions to their creative work”

There is quite clear video available to understand the six different licenses offered by Creative commons:

The License Features need to be chosen between the following:

  • Allow adaptations of your work to be shared?

    • Yes
    • No
    • Yes, as long as others share alike

  • Allow commercial uses of your work?

    • Yes
    • No

In my case, I decided to allow the adaptations of my work to shared as long as they are shared in the same way, and not to allow commercial uses of it:
