Web Scraping reveals top tech trends and company’s media mentions in 2017PromptCloud
To understand the tech landscape and its coverage in 2017, we deployed our in-house web crawler to extract the article titles from two popular outlets and performed text mining on the dataset to uncover the top buzzwords, companies and products.
A Call to Patents: A look at the current state of patents held by social media and technological companies.
The intellectual property of social media businesses has seen a rise in the acquisition of patents. For such a fast growing industry, will this “arming” of corporate enterprises and the verdict of one monstrous case determine what could be a legal onslaught within the technological industry?

THE ‘BIG 5’ PATENTS REPORT
Patent activity and trends across Amazon, Apple, Facebook, Google,and Microsoft
OVERALL PATENT ACTIVITY FROM BIG 5 COHORT ON
THE RISE
Applications trend upwards: Collectively, these IP powerhouses
have applied for more than 52,000 patents since 2009. Total
applications have steadily risen as each company diversifies its
research activities, with annual combined applications nearing
10,000 in 2013.
Microsoft leads, Facebook lags: Microsoft has filed for the most
patents, applying for over 16,800 since 2009, with second-place
Google applying for more than 14,500. Apple was in 3rd and
Amazon 4th, with Facebook lagging significantly behind.
Grants also rising: Although somewhat dependent on the USPTO
approval process, annual grant publications for this cohort have
also consistently grown. Google is now surpassing Microsoft for
the top spot here in part thanks to the reversal of its anti-patent
stance early in the decade.
INDIVIDUAL PATENTS REVEAL BROAD INTERESTS IN AI,
AR/VR, AND VEHICLES
AI activity skyrockets: 2014 applications with AI-related keywords
have already set an annual record, with more applications likely to be published. Microsoft leads with Google quickly rising in second,
while Apple lags all of its peers thus far.
Facebook picking up: Although behind the other four in overall
filings, its activity is on the rise and recently published applications reveal its efforts to automate the removal of objectionable contentusing machine learning.
Apple targets vehicles, wearables: Apple came in second behind Google in our keyword analysis of vehicle-related tech. Individual filings point to research in autonomous vehicles and AR/VR.
Amazon broadens activities: The e-commerce company has
moved from consumer devices like e-book readers and tablets to drones, cybersecurity, and potentially tech to support its Go stores.

I can think of two things right of the bet when thinking about Google's successes and failures of the company's innovations. One of the biggest successes that I saw and have used countless times and still continue on using it is "Google Maps." This has helped me get places I need to go when I need directions to get there. It is super easy to use and helpful and it shows some great details on the maps you look at it as well. I think this was a great innovation when talking about Google's success over the years. This was introduced on February 8, 2005. As of now it’s been 14 years, and it is still a huge success in my opinion. The data doesn’t lie when it comes to Riley Panko. Panko (2018) stated the percentages: 77% of people use Google Maps, the second highest is Waze (12%), then Apple Maps (11%), and finishing the top four is MapQuest (8%). Surveys stated the reasons for people using their favorite navigation app is because of clearer directions (25%), preferred features (20%), user-friendly design/interface (20%), best directions for non-drivers (17%), and never used another navigation app (14%) (Panko, 2018).
The second thing that I thought about being a big failure for Google was the Google Glass wear product. It was not a great looking product, it was bulky, and created a lot of attention to the face because it looked so weird to everyone that wasn't wearing them. However, for the first people to pay for this product spent $1,500 each for early access to the newest tech product created by Google (Metz, 2014, para. 1). According to Metz (2014), it had a lot of great features attached to the product, but the problem with it was that none of them really worked well at all (para. 4). "Glass does a handful of things—it can take videos, give you turn-by-turn directions, make phone calls, or search the Web—but it doesn’t do any of them all that well" (Metz, 2014, para. 4). Another reason that caused it to fail because it was not fashionable. Isabelle Olsson, the lead designer for Glass, said "...the prospect of having more fashionable options “sounds kind of banal in a way” but is even more important than miniaturizing the technology... if you can pick the frame that you would normally pick and that you’re normally comfortable with, it’s going to look more like you" (Metz, 2014, para. 18-19). Google Glass was introduced for the first time as "Google Explorers" on April 15, 2013 for $1,500 and later became available to the public on May 15, 2014.

In the early days of product development, the technology is inferior and lacking in performance. The focus is very much on the technology itself. The users are enthusiast who like the idea of the product, find use for it, and except the lack of performance. Then as the product becomes more mature, other factors become important, such as price, design, features, portability. The product moves from being a technology to become a consumer item, and even a community.
In this lecture we explore the change from technology focus to consumer focus, and look at why people stand in line overnight to buy the latest gadgets.

Eyeing a Dropbox IPO
Can the tech unicorn cash in on corporate users?
Of the big IPOs expected to occur this year,
Dropbox’s could be one of the most intrigu-
ing. When Dropbox last raised money, in
2014, it was valued at a hefty $10 billion.
But large investors such as Fidelity and T.
Rowe Price slashed the value of the Drop-
box shares on their books by as much as 50
percent in 2015. The key concern: could
a company whose free file storage service
is used by hundreds of millions of people
find enough paying customers to make a
great business?
Investors may be in for a pleasant sur-
prise. According to the company, sales
are now running at more than $1 billion
a year, up from around $400 million in
2014. That’s thanks in part to growing
sales of Dropbox Business, a souped-up
version of the free app that costs $150
per employee per year. The company has
been cash-flow positive since early 2016,
even as it has made heavy investments in
engineering, sales, and IT infrastructure.
Now CEO and cofounder Dre w
Houston is leading a new strategic charge.
In addition to selling utilities to keep dig-
ital files safe and accessible, Dropbox
intends to offer software that businesspeo-
ple use for hours each day to create con-
tent and get work done. “This is a mature,
very, very powerful software company,”
says Bryan Schreier, a partner with ven-
ture capital firm Sequoia Capital, which
was an early investor in the company.
That doesn’t mean Dropbox will live
up to that heady $10 billion valuation,
which even at the time was widely seen
as a sign of a bubble about to burst. Even
at an annualized revenue of $1 billion,
investors would need to think the com-
pany is worth 10 times its current sales
on the day it goes public. These days, the
average cloud software company trades
at just 4.7 times revenue, according to
Bessemer Venture Partners.
Still, Schreier and other investors
insist they are no longer worried about

Dropbox’s fundamental business model.
About 10 million new people start using
the free consumer product every month.
An increasing percentage of those users
sign up for the $100-a-year Pro version,
which offers more storage and sharing
features. Many of those Pro customers
use Dropbox at work, and once their
employers realize how popular it is, they
are more likely to step up to Dropbox
Business, which is designed for use by
teams rather than individuals. So far
more than 200,000 companies have
signed up for Dropbox Business, up from
50,000 in 2014. While most are small and
medium-sized companies, a few big com-
panies such as Expedia and News Corp.
have more than 10,000 seats.
A successful push into productivity
and collaboration software could give
corporate customers.

Please read the information and give me a brief respond:
The most important concepts for me begin with the differences in certain Philosophies, and understanding that just as their are differences in each individual there is diversity in their methods and strategies when doing business. To accept the different choices also gives you an idea of which type of people and organization you will work well with and those you decide not to work with. When making decisions that involve my community and family I need you to have similar values and good moral standings that encourage you to put others first. To be aware of the harm you may cause if not considerate of everyone. I will not work with those that have a different agenda orthat cannot leave their self interest behind.
Social responsibility will come into play with every decision that I make. We are not alone in this world and to respect the people the laws and environment is a substantial commitment. I would expect everyone to live with morals and decent values in whatever capacity of employment that you are involved in and everywhere you travel. I would also hope that this generation will be more accepting of individuals with disabilities and challenges that they are not familiar with.
Environmental awareness will be my strong point in establishing a service that supports the air, land and water, We need to preserve our elements for our future generations to come. In whatever feild you choose to be employed in there will always be some method of preservation, because it begins at home.
The most difficult ethical issues of the future in my opinion will be preservation of privacy and identy saving. With so many methods of communication and gadgets in technology , there will always be individuals trying to hack into a data system , if no more than to prove that it can bedone. Most gadgets require passwords and personal information just to sign on to them. Stealing private information and details will continue to get more difficult to contain.
Case study 1- Microsoft
Microsoft is the world’s most successful software company. The company was founded by Bill Gates and Paul Allen in 1975 with the original mission of having “a computer on every desk and in every home, running Microsoft software.” Since then, Microsoft has grown to become the third most valuable brand in the world through strategic marketing and aggressive growth tactics.
Microsoft’s first significant success occurred in the early 1980s with the creation of the DOS operating system for IBM computers. The company used this initial success with IBM to sell software to other manufacturers, quickly making Microsoft a major player in the industry. Initial advertising efforts focused on communicating the company’s range of products from DOS to the launch of Excel and Windows—all under a unified “Microsoft” look.
Microsoft went public in 1986 and grew tremendously over the next decade as the Windows operating system and Microsoft O.
Intellectual Property is of no value unless it is monetised. So the focus needs to be not just on getting a patent, but on one that has commercial value. This needs a multi-disciplinary focus in the emerging creative economy. We can no longer play by the rules of the mercantile or even industrial economy - we are at the cusp of the knowledge economy and creative economy.
Maybe their star has waned. Perhaps one member thinks they can fair better if they go it alone. Or maybe it’s just down to the old favourite “creative differences”. Whatever the reason, bands break up all the time. And following a break up, disputes as to who has the right to use the old band name often follow. In this article, the team at Dawn Ellmore Employment take a look at some of the band name disputes that have arisen between former members of some of the world’s largest rock bands.
In the world of modern commerce, the situation frequently occurs that two enterprises find themselves using an identical or similar trade mark to market their own products or services, without each company’s actions necessarily interfering with the business of the other. Coexistence agreements are often used to formalise the parties positions in such situations, wherein each party recognises the right of the other party to their respective mark, and an agreement is reached as to the terms on which they may exist together in the marketplace.

We can no longer play by the rules of the mercantile or even industrial economy - we are at the cusp of the knowledge economy and creative economy.
Maybe their star has waned. Perhaps one member thinks they can fair better if they go it alone. Or maybe it’s just down to the old favourite “creative differences”. Whatever the reason, bands break up all the time. And following a break up, disputes as to who has the right to use the old band name often follow. In this article, the team at Dawn Ellmore Employment take a look at some of the band name disputes that have arisen between former members of some of the world’s largest rock bands.
In the world of modern commerce, the situation frequently occurs that two enterprises find themselves using an identical or similar trade mark to market their own products or services, without each company’s actions necessarily interfering with the business of the other. Coexistence agreements are often used to formalise the parties positions in such situations, wherein each party recognises the right of the other party to their respective mark, and an agreement is reached as to the terms on which they may exist together in the marketplace.
If there is one invention that not only changed the way the people lived at the time it was made, but has gone on to be used by almost the entire world ever since, then that invention is the electric light bulb. The history of the light bulb’s development and patent ownership is an interesting one, involving the man who has been described as America’s greatest inventor, as well as one of its most controversial: Thomas Edison.

Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).

Removing Uninteresting Bytes in Software FuzzingAftab Hussain
Imagine a world where software fuzzing, the process of mutating bytes in test seeds to uncover hidden and erroneous program behaviors, becomes faster and more effective. A lot depends on the initial seeds, which can significantly dictate the trajectory of a fuzzing campaign, particularly in terms of how long it takes to uncover interesting behaviour in your code. We introduce DIAR, a technique designed to speedup fuzzing campaigns by pinpointing and eliminating those uninteresting bytes in the seeds. Picture this: instead of wasting valuable resources on meaningless mutations in large, bloated seeds, DIAR removes the unnecessary bytes, streamlining the entire process.
In this work, we equipped AFL, a popular fuzzer, with DIAR and examined two critical Linux libraries -- Libxml's xmllint, a tool for parsing xml documents, and Binutil's readelf, an essential debugging and security analysis command-line tool used to display detailed information about ELF (Executable and Linkable Format). Our preliminary results show that AFL+DIAR does not only discover new paths more quickly but also achieves higher coverage overall. This work thus showcases how starting with lean and optimized seeds can lead to faster, more comprehensive fuzzing campaigns -- and DIAR helps you find such seeds.

Elevating Tactical DDD Patterns Through Object CalisthenicsDorra BARTAGUIZ
After immersing yourself in the blue book and its red counterpart, attending DDD-focused conferences, and applying tactical patterns, you're left with a crucial question: How do I ensure my design is effective? Tactical patterns within Domain-Driven Design (DDD) serve as guiding principles for creating clear and manageable domain models. However, achieving success with these patterns requires additional guidance. Interestingly, we've observed that a set of constraints initially designed for training purposes remarkably aligns with effective pattern implementation, offering a more ‘mechanical’ approach. Let's explore together how Object Calisthenics can elevate the design of your tactical DDD patterns, offering concrete help for those venturing into DDD for the first time!

Dawn Ellmore - who was the most innovative us company in 2017
1. Who was the most innovative US company in 2017? Dawn Ellmore
explains why it’s probably not who you think
If you were asked to guess the most innovative company in 2017, you may assume
a huge household name like Apple or Facebook would carry off the laurels.
According to the annual ranking from IFI Claims Patent Services, you’d be wrong.
Top of the innovators
The ranking is based on the number of patents granted by the US patent office and
uses these figures to create a list of the most innovative companies in America.
In 2017, the company that received the most patents was IBM, continuing a run as
the most innovative company in America held for 25 years.
Best measure of innovation
Patents are the best measure of how much a company is committed to developing
new ideas and bringing them to market. IBM just beat Samsung with an impressive
9,000 patents, even after Samsung’s three separate entities were added together.
Both these companies were awarded more than twice as many patents as any other
company. The next two that came closest to the two at the top were Canon KK
(3,285 patents) and Intel (3,023 patents).
2. The number of patents granted beat 2016’s total by more than 5%, thanks to the
continuing strength of the American economy. Here are some more unexpected
facts from the rankings:
Facebook only managed number 50
Facebook is open about its ambitions when it comes to innovative technology, such
as plans for thought-to-text technology announced recently. Despite this, the media
giant has never been very high on the list of innovative companies in terms of
patents granted.
In 2017, it reached number 50 with 660 patents, up from 445 patents the year before
when it only just made number 85. This year’s result, although improved, still means
that Facebook received fewer patents than Honda, Boeing or brands unknown in the
UK, such as Halliburton.
Apple failed to break the top 10
Although Apple is often assumed to be the most innovative company in the US, if not
the world, it hasn’t filed the most patents of any other company since 2010. This was
the last complete year of Steve Job’s leadership
In 2017, it made 11th place by filing 2,229 patents, which was a significant increase
from the 2,103 patents filed in 2016.
Uber gets fewer patents than Yahoo
Public perception of Uber is as a major disrupter and tech unicorn, while Yahoo
tends to fly under the radar. However, Uber only filed 51 patents in 2017, putting
them at 778 out of the top 1,000. While that sounds unimpressive, it is up on 2016
when the company only filed 14 and only just scraped in to the top 1,000 at number
977.
In 2017, Uber was outranked by Adidas, Yahoo and even Electrolux (manufacturers
of vacuum cleaners). It was a year of major disruption for the company and its
founder, with a backlash against its culture, but it still managed to triple its patent
filings compared with 2016. This suggests that the engineers and project leaders at
the company can stay focused no matter what.
Universities are receiving lots of patents
There’s no HE (higher education) institution in the top 50, but they are scattered
throughout the rest of the list. The University of California came in at 63 with 599
patents, followed by the University of Texas at number 147 with 245 patents.
Stanford managed number 157 with 235 patents and others such as Emory, the
University of Rochester and Drexel all made the top 1,000.
Tesla is outside the top 1,000
Elon Musk is one of the most popular and open innovators in the world, but the only
entity of his on the list was SolarCity, which was bought by Tesla in 2016.
The lack of rankings in the list has nothing to do with Musk losing his innovative
edge. It’s more because he has lost interest in the patent system. In 2012, Musk told
Business Insider that patenting the innovations for SpaceX would be “farcical” due to
the stipulation that you must detail how something works for it to be patented. That
3. would mean Musk’s most innovative plans could be used by Chinese companies that
represent Tesla’s main competition – and who aren’t bound by US patent law.
In 2014, Musk announced that Tesla would stop filing patents for its technology, this
time to allow others to adopt its technology. Rather than avoiding competition, Musk
said that he wanted other car manufacturers to use his tech and bring more electric
cars onto the market to properly challenge the dominance of petrol cars. He
explained that Tesla Motors was “created to accelerate the advent of sustainable
transport. If we clear a path to the creation of compelling electric vehicles, but then
lay intellectual property landmines behind us to inhibit others, we are acting in a
manner contrary to that goal.”
Musk’s approach to IP is very much in the minority, and it’s doubtful many
companies will do the same.
If the world of patents and IP interests you and you’re looking for a career change,
then Dawn Ellmore Employment can help.
