This week was actually really important, I usually tend to ignore this things but it is very important to understand about different kinds of licenses that we can register our project to.
-
Task: Invention, Intellectual Property and Business Models
-
Develop a plan for dissemination of your final project,
- Prepare drafts of your summary slide (presentation.png, 1920x1080) and
- video clip (presentation.mp4, 1080p HTML5, < ~minute, < ~10 MB) and put them in your root directory
The main task of the week is to develop a plan to disseminate my final project.
Plan for dissemination¶
Currently I am working at Druk Gyalpo’s Institute, under which we have a school amd I am a teacher there.
Once I graduate from fabacademy, I would like to work more on this project to make the communication as smooth as possible and by using different wireless communication modules. So that crawler drones are made more cool.
I will present and showcase demo of the project to the staff and students of my school and would love take this work forward in collaboration with the school. And also plan to bring up more projects from the staff and students of other 22 schools under Druk Gyalpo’s Insitute.

Patent.¶
A patent is a government-granted monopoly to build, sell, and use your invention (and prevent others from doing so). The requirement of the patent are that the idea or project must be:
- New.
- Useful.
- Non-obvious.
Copyright.¶
Copyrights protect original works of authorship. Copyright law provides copyright owners with the following exclusive rights :
- Reproduce the work
- Prepare derivative works
- Distribute copies by sale, transfer of ownership, or license
- Perform or display the work publicly
Trademark.¶
A trademark can be any word, phrase, symbol, design, or combination of these things that identifies your goods or services. A trademark has many benefits, including:
- Identifying the source of your goods or services
- Providing legal protection for your brand
- Guarding against counterfeiting and fraud
Trade Secret.¶
A trade secret is typically something not generally known to the public, where reasonable efforts are made to keep it confidential, and confers some type of economic value to the holder by the information not being known by another party.
Licensing¶
There are different types of license to protect someones work. Creative commons is a license to allow the creator to share the work.
So I will be explaining about the type of license I chose is Attribution-NonCommercial 4.0 International, the picture above also shows the icon of the license.
With this license, that means:
- You are free to:
- Share — copy and redistribute the material in any medium or format.
- Adapt — remix, transform, and build upon the material
-
The licensor cannot revoke these freedoms as long as you follow the license terms.
-
Under the following terms:
- Attribution — You must give appropriate credit, provide a link to the license, and indicate if changes were made. You may do so in any reasonable manner, but not in any way that suggests the licensor endorses you or your use.
- NonCommercial — You may not use the material for commercial purposes.
