Invention, Intellectual Property, and Income

Week Assignment

This week assignment consists of develop a plan for dissemination of your final project.

The dissemination plan

My project was not born with the idea of being a commercial project but according to what I have developed I think it could be easily marketable. In the market there are similar products, but none so completely, besides being very expensive products.

At first my project was to be composed of several parts, this makes the smart aquarium was a impractical option but making the project I was defining the product up to integrate the entire system within the light shield.

My plan is based on two different lines, create a community for fans of aquariums where all information is available in this way the community keep the project alive recording all advances under an open license, the second line is to create a range of commercial products based on the available products in this way is given access to these products to people without knowledge or time that can not develop these products.

Communication and merchandising

All communication of the project is online, they will be created forums, directories to store files generated by the community and profiles on social networks to spread the project.

The product sale is done through the WEB, the profits will go to the creators of the project and for community members to get involved in the project, these percentages are determined by the level of involvement of each.

Patent and trademark registration

All products that are generated will be under an open license, the license will be "Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International"
