Presentation for the World Customs Organisation Technology and Innovation Forum in 2015.
Brighton & Hove - How do I protect a business idea - October 2020Neil Infield
This document provides information on how to protect a business idea through intellectual property. It discusses that a business idea alone is not protectable, but the execution or expression of that idea may be protectable through various forms of intellectual property like patents, trademarks, copyrights, trade secrets, and registered designs. It provides brief overviews of each of these types of intellectual property, including how to register them, costs, duration of protection, and some limitations. The document emphasizes the importance of conducting prior art searches and keeping trade secrets and know-how confidential to maintain protection. It also provides resources for searching intellectual property databases and finding intellectual property attorneys.
This document provides an overview of intellectual property strategy considerations for startups and early stage companies. It discusses why IP strategy is important from a business perspective to position the company for future opportunities like acquisition or growth. It also covers investor perspectives and how an IP strategy can integrate with operational aspects like innovation cycles and product development processes. The document emphasizes performing analyses to understand competitive landscapes and technology spaces before determining filing strategies that balance risk and return for a startup.
An Entrepreneur’s Perspective on Intellectual Property - Entrepreneurship 101MaRS Discovery District
Intellectual property (IP) is the lifeblood of every knowledge-based startup or venture. Learn how to identify and manage your intellectual property in a strategic way and examine how it fits in with your overall business model. A large part of your competitive advantage will depend on your ability to protect and properly exploit or commercialize your product or service innovations. IP law provides the framework for protecting and commercializing these innovations. Real-world issues and how they can be addressed effectively are examined, particularly for the IT/Web 2.0 space.
Willans LLP is a law firm based in Cheltenham that provides legal advice to businesses, individuals, and charities. The document discusses tips for protecting businesses legally, including having proper terms and conditions in contracts, enforcing credit control and payment policies, protecting intellectual property, and ensuring good employment practices by preventing abuse of trust from current or former employees. It also provides information on intellectual property rights like patents, trademarks, and copyrights.
This document provides an overview of intellectual property and different types of intellectual property protection. It discusses copyright, trademarks, industrial design, trade secrets, and patents. For each type of intellectual property, it describes what can be protected, how long protection lasts, and key requirements. The document also covers patent applications, managing intellectual property portfolios, and balancing certainty and uncertainty around intellectual property.
This document discusses the acceleration of change over time and how traditional database and data modeling approaches struggle to keep up with frequent changes. It introduces Anchor Modeling as an agile modeling technique that fully supports evolving data environments by preserving all previous versions and changes over time. Anchor Modeling allows for multiple perspectives on data, complete history tracking, and easy adaptation to change.
Transportation is the movement of products from one node in the distribution channel to another.
Types of transportation are explained in detail in the presentation

This document describes an experiment to determine which common materials can block Wi-Fi signals. It provides background on Wi-Fi technology and lists materials that will be tested, including aluminum foil, steel pans, glass pans, cardboard, plastic, and a container of water. The experimental procedure involves measuring Wi-Fi signal strength without any blocking materials, then placing materials between the router and device to test their attenuating effects on the signal. Signal strength readings will be recorded for each material and averaged to calculate signal attenuation. Results will be presented in a bar graph and conclusions drawn.
This document summarizes an experiment to determine materials that can block Wi-Fi signals. The experiment tested materials like aluminum foil, steel pans, glass pans, cardboard, plastic and water against Wi-Fi signals. It was found that aluminum foil had the best ability to block Wi-Fi signals, followed by concrete, steel and cardboard. The document suggests potential applications of this finding, like using aluminum foil to extend an antenna or surround a router to strengthen or weaken signals for different needs. In conclusion, the experiment showed aluminum foil is effective at blocking Wi-Fi signals and these results can be useful in daily life or construction.

Editor's Notes
Good afternoon, my name is Robin Puthli
I am director of Itude Mobile. Based in the Netherlands
and i will be discussing how to create better smart seals for the supply chain using Internet of Things technology.
Seals indicate entry after the fact
Locks aim to delay / prevent entry
here we see a number of widely used types of seal.
they combine the lock and seal functions, and rely on physical evidence of opening or tampering.
There are also electronic alternatives to the bolt or cable seals. These GSM and GPS based devices tend to combine lock and seal functions. These devices tend to have the same physical characteristics as the bolt and cable seals, and are therefore vulnerable to the same types of attacks.
GSM and GPS technology is over 25 years old, and therefore require a lot of power, which leads to large batteries or asset based installation of power lines. Also GSM is easy to jam and difficult to secure. So crooks can track a valuable cargo by tracking the very device that was intended to protect the cargo.
These devices typically require proprietary readers, which drives up cost and makes operations complex.
As a result a seal is often rented and removed at the port because they are too valuable to lose.
Argonne National Laboratory has done extensive research into how easily seals can be fooled. They tested over 200 types of seals. So how good are they?
The graph on the left shows that 90% of seals can be bypassed within 5 minutes using simple tools such as superglue, a hacksaw, needles etc.
Worse is that expensive seals are no better than really cheap ones.
McGyver; people get very creative with a corkscrew, soap and electricity lead and bypass tamper evident seals.
This diagram is to illustrate the complexity of modern trade lanes. In this example of trade between South America and Europe the red dots indicate legitimate opening. The green dots indicate sealing.
As you can imagine; in this tradelane there are many opportunities to smuggle narcotics. And a broken seal gives no indication where the narcotics were introduced.
So how can we improve on traditional seals?
We should seperate the seal and the lock
The seal should be inside the container, so it is protected by the lock, difficult to access and difficult to find
The seal stores cryptographic evidence of being closed instead of evidence of tampering.
The evidence of being closed is wiped when the container is opened.
12 Billion ARM chips produced a year, driving costs down
3 Billion Bluetooth chips produced a year, driving costs down. The top photo shows a selection of bluetooth devices that use ARM chips. iBeacons, Phones, tablets, health
LoRaWan is upcoming wide area network for low power devices. It provides unparalled indoor coverage for low power devices. The bottom photo is of our test of the LoRaWan network in Rotterdam Harbour. The man with the sunglasses is holding a portable base station. The devices are matchbox size.
Bluetooth and LoRaWan are relevant for supply chains because they work inside closed containers. They require far less power than earlier radio protocols allowing for devices that last over a year on a small battery.
Based on the lessons learned with traditional seals, we created an anti-evidence seal based on modern consumer hardware: the product name is Babbler.
As a customs organisation, if your Authorized Economic Operators use our seals, you can see information like this…
Your AEO can provide early warning to improve risk assessment way before the shipment arrives.
