Week XVII

Invention, Intellectual Property, and Income

Individual Assignment

Develop a plan for dissemination of your final project.


Invention

My project is an indoor automated garden that is placed on balconies taking water from air conditioners. We have seen before a lot of ideas similar to it but what is interesting in this project is that it is desinged in a simple way that does not take a lot of space and how all the parts work together to have greenery.

Project Details

Here we can see that the project has two main parts:

- The main structure with the pots and tanks.

- The automation part watering and programming.


Intellectual Property

What is a license?

General description of a license: A license is an agreement through which a licensee leases the rights to a legally protected piece of intellectual property from a licensor — the entity which owns or represents the property — for use in conjunction with a product or service.

I used Creative Commons to generate a license for my project.

The options that I chose are:

in License features:

Share my work as long as others share alike and no for commercial use of my project.

Now a code will be generated to add on my webpage.

Below is how it will appear:

Income

This project is still under development and may need some upgrades in order to be a product that can be available in the markets. I still don’t have an income plan for it.

I will finalize this project with all the needed tests. I will update the project accordingly and since Lebanon is a Mediterranean country, people use the air conditioners all around the year between cooling and heating and can use the water coming from the condensation process to have greenery on their balconies. Some developments will include a separate tank that will store water for the months that only heating is used since this water is not good as the one coming when cooling is used their will be no ACs turned on to collect water. So, water will be stored and used later on.
