18. Invention, Intellectual Property, and Income
This week we worked on plan distribution and drafting summary slides and presentation.
Goals
-
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
Accomplishments
Made a plan for dissemination and draft of slide and video
Dissemination plan
There are 3 options for areas of focus for disseminations depending on level of commercialization
-
Original plan for personal use - i intended this device for personal use only and so will continue to use in my kitchen and improve it over time.
-
Fun project - if we keep this as a fun project then best path here is to follow social and online forums that are popular with the maker community such as Instructables and/or social media platform (instagram/youtube) etc.
-
Commercialization - if commercialization is the path forward i believe this type of product wil lend itself to a QVC or shopping channel type of buyer and online store. I think it will be too niche and bulky for traditional retail.
