A patent provides a limited-time monopoly for novel, inventive, and industrially applicable ideas. To receive a patent, one must fully disclose their idea to the relevant patent office. Patents last for 20 years and only protect the functional aspects of an invention, not its appearance. The requirements for patentability include that an idea be new, non-obvious, and capable of industrial use. Disclosing an idea publicly before filing can prevent it from being patented. The European Patent Office allows filing a single application covering multiple countries. International patents via the PCT system provide an initial filing covering over 100 countries.

New century calls for new innovation system. Instead of individualistic closed innovation we require participative open innovation or collective creation. Closed innovation system is not adequate to solve the societal issues. However openness of open knowledge doesn't necessarily mean free access or free ride of technologies rather it aims at non-discriminatory access of technologies that may be used by IP licensing. Unlike open knowledge open innovation demands three types of open innovations like- Out side-in, Inside-out and joint innovation. Almost all big organizations like IBM, Microsoft, Philips have embraced open innovation to make better , improvised and innovative product to solve various social problems.

These are the slides for the presentation that I was due to give to the makers at FFPWS on 1 April. FFIWS is a maker space in Porthmadog with laser cutters, 3D printers and all sorts of other impressive kits. As my visit has had to be cancelled I have decided to deliver my presentation online. If there is still enough interest in Porthmadog (or anywhere else in the world for that matter) I will give a fee webinar on 15 April 2020 on IP Law for Makers, The IP law in question will be the law of Wales and England which will not be exactly the same elsewhere but most of the presentation should be relevant more or less anywhere.

how can I sell pi coins after successfully completing KYCDOT TECH
Pi coins is not launched yet in any exchange 💱 this means it's not swappable, the current pi displaying on coin market cap is the iou version of pi. And you can learn all about that on my previous post.
RIGHT NOW THE ONLY WAY you can sell pi coins is through verified pi merchants. A pi merchant is someone who buys pi coins and resell them to exchanges and crypto whales. Looking forward to hold massive quantities of pi coins before the mainnet launch.
This is because pi network is not doing any pre-sale or ico offerings, the only way to get my coins is from buying from miners. So a merchant facilitates the transactions between the miners and these exchanges holding pi.
I and my friends has sold more than 6000 pi coins successfully with this method. I will be happy to share the contact of my personal pi merchant. The one i trade with, if you have your own merchant you can trade with them. For those who are new.
Message: @Pi_vendor_247 on telegram.
I wouldn't advise you selling all percentage of the pi coins. Leave at least a before so its a win win during open mainnet. Have a nice day pioneers ♥️

3. What is a patent?
• A patent is a deal with the state
– Fully disclose your new idea and you get a limited-time monopoly
• It provides a Civil law right to prevent others from using your idea
• Even once granted, a patent can be challenged by competitors at any time
until it expires 20 years later
• Relates to geographic territories – you must file in different countries (or the
EU) to receive protection in each country

4. Patents
• Unlike other rights, a patent protects effect of product, not image, appearance or
expression
• A well crafted patent can give monopoly rights to a business in its area
• A patent is expensive but there are cheaper preparatory steps
• Once granted, a patent gives a product and a company legitimacy in the eyes of
prospective investors and partners
Copyright of Bart Clarysse and Sabrina Kiefer
The Smart Entrepreneur
5. Basic patent rules
To qualify for a patent, a product must be considered
• Novel/ new
• An ‘inventive step’
• Capable of industrial application
Copyright of Bart Clarysse and Sabrina Kiefer
The Smart Entrepreneur
6. • Must not form part of the “State of the Art”
“The State of the art in the case of an invention shall be taken to comprise all matter
(whether a product, a process, information about either, or anything else) which has at
any time before the priority date of that invention been made available to the public
(whether in the United Kingdom or elsewhere) by written or oral description, by use or
in any other way”
• In other words, your invention must be kept secret until the application is filed,
so beware:
» Theses
» Seminars
» Conference papers
» Public use
Can all constitute the current state of the art. Be careful what you disclose before filing
for a patent.
• Also note that your idea may already have been conceived and protected by someone
else; you can do a patent search to determine if there is any ‘Prior art’, and you should
also check other literature (as above) for disclosure of similar inventions (see ‘Freedom
to Operate’).
Patent rules: ‘Novelty’

7. Patent rules: ‘Inventive step’ and ‘Industrial Application’
• “Inventive Step”:
Not obvious to a person skilled in the art
• “Capable of Industrial Application”:
Can be made or used in any kind of industry, including agriculture

14. Newness search
• The report gives a number of references (patents, publications, …) that might
contain contaminating information
• Newness research deals with the scope of the conclusions
• Cited references are weighted
• The weight is articulated in symbols:
» “X”: very relevant document, might block the inventiveness or newness of
the invention
» “Y”: very relevant document, claimed invention is not new if this document
is combined with others and clear for the experts
» “A”: state of the art, not relevant
» “P”: document with later priority date
