Invention, Intellectual Property & Income

This week I have to do a research about whether I should register a patent for my final project, but after looking and analyzing the project that I will be working on I saw that I should not register a patent for this project as it is a simple project that anyone can have enough equipment By building this project as patents are registered for large and heavy projects that cannot be created easily, also when thinking about this project was to eliminate a need and not to invest in it or register any patent so I will suffice to establish the project and benefit from it on a personal level, At the present time, open source projects have multiplied and have become a good way to help others in developing small projects so I will finally put the project to everyone and make it open source so that anyone else can amend it and add and make any other changes that others can benefit from. But when developing an open source project I will probably need a license to save my copyright.

The beginning of what I'm going to do is a small robot that tracks the person as well as a built-in camera inside that depicts the person in 360° and can capture everything around them.

    Currently I am not thinking that there will be any profits from the product because I will be using it on a personal level, maybe in the future I will change my idea and I will try to make money through this project if I see that it can bring profits to me.

    For me this will be the first project that I fully undertake, and to ensure that this project is continuously evolving, I will allow all individuals without companies to invest this project and work and develop it further, Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike (CC BY-NC-SA), This will be the official logo of the project, as individuals will be allowed to use and modify the project without using it for commercial purposes.
