Invention, Intellectual Property and Business Models

For this assignment we had to Develop a plan for dissemination of your final project.

Learning outcomes:

  • Formulate future opportunities.

  • Assignment Questions

      Invention

    My final project consists of different aspects:
    - Design
    - Hardware
    - Programming
    Both Programming and hardware were aided by open source codes and projects. I decided to make all resources Open-source for people to benefit from my work So i will not register my project as a patent or a license. So I am going to share the project files and available to everyone to improve and to be able to modify if for good purposes.

      Intellectual Property

    For this section I had to choose the License organization. based on my research I chose MIT license so that my project will gain an Open Sources Harware and Software Licensed under MIT License .
    I chose this license because it permits the user to use, copy, modify, merge, publish distribute, sublicensee, and/or sell copies of the project easily and clearly.

    There are multiple other licence organizations, So I looked up at Common Creative since its a well known licenc in the Fab Academt Network. The organization has released several copyright-licenses, known as Creative Commons licenses, free of charge to the public. These licenses allow creators to communicate which rights they reserve and which rights they waive for the benefit of recipients or other creators.

      Income and Future Plans

    My Future plans are to improve electronics design for my project since there is always a room for improvment in the PCB and programming aspect. As well addional feature could be added to the system including the Automatic Shut down of the machine and sound alarm. Keeping all my project resources open for people to use will help improve the idea and devolop it further. In general the fabAcademy experience was very exciting and challenging escpecially with the COVID-19 situation.
