19. Invention, intellectual property and income¶
This week I worked on defining my final project idea and started to getting used to the documentation process.
Assignment¶
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

Dissemination Plan¶
Who is this project for?¶
As mentioned before, this project intended end user are Barbershop/ Salon shop owners. However, at this stage, this project is intended for use, and is owned by the National Insititue of Higher Education with Research in Science and Technology NIHERST FABLAB, mainly to enable society through Science and Innovation.
How is it Funded?¶
Like many of our in house projects at the NIHERST Fablab, this project, the “Hollow Vac”, was funded through NIHERST, under the Ninth European Development Fund. A further breakdown of costing can be found here.
Intellectual Properties Protection of Project¶
It is safe to assume that as this project was funded entirely by the institutaion I work for, NIHERST, its Intellectual property comes under ownership of said institution. As most projects are open sourced and replicated, innovated and improved on within the FAB Academy, no patents nor trademarks can be taken to my 3D designs, PCB designs, etc. Even though this borders the line of “Innovation or Invention”, NIHERST has ownership over the project, and is responsible for its Intellectual property and protection.
Business Plan¶
There isn’t a proposed business plan intended for this project as NIHERST, a governmental insititution, has not indicated any intention for income as a result of this project.
