14. Invention, Intellectual Property, and Income¶
In this week I worked on developing a plan for dissemination of my final project. The plan includes license(s) and distribution of the final project.
Group Meeting and Personal Notes¶
Group Lecture Summary regarding Innovation, Investment, IP & Commercialization in Jordan with Mr. Mohammed Aljafari Director of Intellectual Property Commercialization Office, iPark in Royal Scientific Society to talk about the intellectual property.
Ownership happen before you register it IP
uses of IP - Legal aspect Protect it in court monopoly - Useful Making partnership – based you partnership through intellectual property
Fablabs ethically speaking: - More exposed to open source – ethically you keep think open source - also you legally make them open source however (fab lab as facility doesn’t have IP but creates IP – the IP for users not the lab itself of course – fablab doesn’t take part – it is not a marketing more of providing facilities_ ( secondly equipment’s provided – if you created something on a free software maybe they have “open source close” not to try to pattern or keep it secret or monopolize the outcome of your work! So when working at home or fablab you exposed agreed to using software that say you are not allowed to pattern or monopolize the outcome …) The most interesting problem that comes out of this if you go down the creative commons path – you don’t have registered right so make it hard to make partnership (how fablab makes difficult to make business and agreement to large companies but manufacturing it and giving me percentage of manufacturing )
Patterned – (the function is the pattern) – bigger exclusivity
Design is only related to shape not function - like trademarks (sometimes can worth more like when Samsung had to pay apple 500M for copying the shape of iphone)

Individual Assignment¶
Intellectual Property¶
What is Intellectual Property?
Intellectual property (IP) refers to creations of the mind, such as inventions; literary and artistic works; designs; and symbols, names and images used in commerce.
IP is protected in law by, for example, patents, copyright and trademarks, which enable people to earn recognition or financial benefit from what they invent or create. By striking the right balance between the interests of innovators and the wider public interest, the IP system aims to foster an environment in which creativity and innovation can flourish.
About CC¶
What is Creative Commons and what do they do?
Creative Commons is a global nonprofit organization that enables sharing and reuse of creativity and knowledge through the provision of free legal tools. Their legal tools help those who want to encourage reuse of their works by offering them for use under generous, standardized terms; those who want to make creative uses of works; and those who want to benefit from this symbiosis. Their vision is to help others realize the full potential of the internet. CC has affiliates all over the world who help ensure their licenses work internationally and who raise awareness of their work.
Although Creative Commons is best known for its licenses, their work extends beyond just providing copyright licenses. CC offers other legal and technical tools that also facilitate sharing and discovery of creative works, such as CC0, a public domain dedication for rights holders who wish to put their work into the public domain before the expiration of copyright, and the Public Domain Mark, a tool for marking a work that is in the worldwide public domain. Creative Commons licenses and tools were designed specifically to work with the web, which makes content that is offered under their terms easy to search for, discover, and use.
What do the Creative Commons buttons do?
The CC buttons are a shorthand way to convey the basic permissions associated with material offered under CC licenses. Creators and owners who apply CC licenses to their material can download and apply those buttons to communicate to users the permissions granted in advance. When the material is offered online, the buttons should usually link out to the human-readable license deeds (which, in turn, link to the license itself).
