Develop a plan for dissemination of your final project.
For 4 years I have been working as administrative staff in the Projects Center of the Faculty of Architecture and Design of the University of Panama and since then I have been tasked with being part of the team that could carry out the physical materialization of a Fab Laboratory in the faculty, which is why I participate fully in this project. I have students and teachers with whom we compare each step I take at the Fab Academy and we intend to start the celebration of Architecture week at the University, since other disciplines celebrate their week and we do not. This is a good opportunity to publicize my project en masse and interest more people, especially all the students of the 7 careers we offer and for whom I am a teacher to a large extent.
As the future administrative manager of the Fab Lab FAD-UP, I will have the opportunity, not only to interact with my prototype and improve it over time, but to interact with other disciplines other than mine and form research and work teams within the university campus, but in other spheres of the low-income school and social community, with the technical base that I already have.
At the moment I do not feel the need to promote this as a business, on the contrary as far as possible to add more people to this cause and empower it by including it in the subjects as a teacher.
My project will serve as an initiating spark for those who show interest in thinking, researching, doing, sharing and manufacturing under the do-it-yourself philosophy. As a means I plan to enter social networks, since I am not a user of them, to publicize the benefits at a general level of what we do personally and institutionally to support others.
Invention
U.S. Patent Law. a new, useful process, machine, improvement, etc., that did not exist previously and that is recognized as the product of some unique intuition or genius, as distinguished from ordinary mechanical skill or craftsmanship (Dictionary.com).
Intellectual property rights
Intellectual property rights (IPR) have been defined as ideas, inventions, and creative expressions based on which there is a public willingness to bestow the status of property. ... Patent is a recognition for an invention, which satisfies the criteria of global novelty, non-obviousness, and industrial application (ResearchGate).
CopyRight
Copyright refers to the legal right of the owner of intellectual property. In simpler terms, copyright is the right to copy. This means that the original creators of products and anyone they give authorization to are the only ones with the exclusive right to reproduce the work (Investopedia.com).
Patents
A patent is the granting of a property right by a sovereign authority to an inventor. This grant provides the inventor exclusive rights to the patented process, design, or invention for a designated period in exchange for a comprehensive disclosure of the invention (Investopedia.com).
Trademark
A trademark is a recognizable insignia, phrase, word, or symbol that denotes a specific product and legally differentiates it from all other products of its kind. A trademark exclusively identifies a product as belonging to a specific company and recognizes the company's ownership of the brand (Investopedia.com).
Trade dress

GNU / GPL
The licenses for most software are designed to take away your freedom to share and change it. By contrast, the GNU General Public License is intended to guarantee your freedom to share and change free software--to make sure the software is free for all its users. This General Public License applies to most of the Free Software Foundation's software and to any other program whose authors commit to using it. (Some other Free Software Foundation software is covered by the GNU Lesser General Public License instead.) You can apply it to your programs, too (gnu.org).
protect your rights with two steps: (1) copyright the software, and (2) offer you this license which gives you legal permission to copy, distribute and/or modify the software.
Copyleft
Copyleft type licenses are a novel use of existing copyright law to ensure a work remains freely available. The GNU General Public License (GPL), originally written by Richard Stallman, was the first software copyleft license to see extensive use, and continues to dominate in that area (Wikipedia.com).
In view of the above I have decided to review what I can use:
- Fab (c) holder date:
- Creative Commomns:
- The MIT License:
-
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.
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.
I consider that in addition to the physical part, the creative and sometimes cumbersome process of coding is also a creative process which is why I incorporate the MIT license into my project.
After all I trust this license:

Inconveniences - Delays
We have not yet been able to access the FabLab, nor the corresponding equipment to carry out the physical practices, which in my case are very necessary since it is not the same as simulating situations with characteristics given by default.
In addition to the above, we have been greatly affected by the quarantine decreed by COVID-19.
