18. Invention, Intellectual Property and Income

  • 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 website’s root directory

This week we were introduced to Invention, Intellectual Property, and Income. I enjoyed learning about the business and licensing part of all sorts of different projects. this is definitely something I want to spend more time learning about. for the assignment, I chose a type of license I would like to use for my final project. and also prepare for the final presentation.

There are other products on the market commercially and I am undecided as to whether I would like to enter that space and compete against them. For sure mushrooms are growing in popularity and there is certainly a growing market for the device, but further development and testing will be needed.

I used Chooser-beta to help me determine the type of license I would require, you can see the details below.

Future development

I would like to develop the device and make further improvements to functionality.
For future development I would like to:

  • Increase power to 12V to allow for full spectrum LED'S
  • Develop the app
  • Create remote access to connect from wherever you may be and interact with the controls
  • Add a camera
  • Improve the design
  • Design and make the mycelium bags to fit the machine

Most importantly, TEST!!! Let make mushrooms.
