Il Tribunale di Milano dà ragione a un imprenditore che si sentiva leso dal fatto che il motore di ricerca associasse automaticamente il suo nome alle parole "truffa" e "truffatore". La società dovrà intervenire sull'algoritmo per eliminare l'occorrenza. Gli analisti: "Precedente controverso" di ALESSANDRO LONGO La funzione di suggerimento nella ricerca di Google è diffamante, se accosta il nome di una persona a parole che ne ledono la professionalità o la dignità.
Lo ha stabilito il Tribunale di Milano, accogliendo il ricorso di un cittadino che si era sentito diffamato dalle parole che il servizio Google Suggest associava automaticamente al suo nome. La corte ha respinto il reclamo della società società californiana e le ha imposto di eliminare quell'accostamento, addebitandole le spese di lite. Vicenda notevole, perché alimenta l'idea secondo cui gli algoritmi non sono neutri e rende i motori di ricerca responsabili nei confronti dei contenuti web indicizzati.

Interfacing Intellectual Property Rights and Open Innovation by Nari Lee, Soili Nystén-Haarala, Laura Huhtilainen. As the paradigm of innovation becomes more user oriented and collaborative, to benefit from this changing paradigm, firms need to adjust their intellectual property rights management strategy and devise tools to manage openness. Crucially, firms need to resolve is how to interface the “closed innovation” paradigm required to acquire intellectual property rights in law and to introduce openness in the process of innovation and decentralised innovation process.
While the topic of open innovation has produced numerous works especially in the area of business administration and organizational studies, literature on interfacing open innovation with intellectual property law is rare or rather focused on specific subject matters of IP. For example, legal research on open innovation focus on computer, open source software or user generated contents types. This leaves out vast areas of technology uncovered and under researched. Creo - Protecting Intellectual Property.
All businesses have trade secrets; information that they would rather keep confidential that is valuable to a company’s growth and competitive advantage. This could include technical information (formulas, designs, tools, manufacturing processes, and computer source codes) as well as business secrets (customer and employee lists, financial and accounting data, and product and marketing plans). Such information can be critical to the success of a business; however, many companies do little to protect it. Many changes in the business community have made protecting intellectual property (IP) more challenging.
Today’s business environment is extremely dynamic and increasingly competitive on a global level. For manufacturers, this new globalized economy requires managing extended supply chains in which outside partners and suppliers perform critical functions, from product design and manufacturing to product support, from various locations throughout the world.

The U.S. Patent and Trademark Office appears to think so, although it took them over 5 years to decide the matter. The search giant submitted the patent application for the design of its home page search interface back in 2004 along with the design of its search results pages.
The latter was approved in 2006, but the USPTO only finally awarded the former its patent yesterday, reports Gawker.The patent application contains a single illustration of the familiar Google.com user interface which, as we know, is quite spartan. In other words, Google essentially owns the concept of putting a big search box on top of two buttons and putting some text links nearby.
No one knows exactly how or even if Google plans to use the patent to go after similar interfaces. What do you think: is Google out of line? Patently Apple. In court on Tuesday Apple's damages expert testified that Apple should receive $2.2 billion in damages from Samsung for infringing on five of their patents, and to compensate for Samsung's sale of 37 million devices, which led to a loss of profits for Apple. Continue reading "Apple's Damages Expert Testifies to Samsung's Scope of Patent Infringement Being worth $2.2 Billion" » A new Korean report published today states that Samsung Electronics is expected to record an operating profit of 8.4 trillion won ($7.9 billion) in the first quarter, down 4.33 percent from a year ago, as the result of slow smartphone sales growth. The estimate did not provide figures for each of its business divisions. These will be made public in the last week of April. Yet looking forward, analysts are seeing the coming smartphone pricing wars being a negative on Samsung's bottom line going forward.

Legal Aspects of Open Innovation for Small Companies: A P&G Perspective. I recently asked Chris Thoen, Managing Director of the Global Open Innovation office at P&G this question. “Small companies often have limited legal resources. What can they do to get better deals and protect their intellectual property?” As you can see below, Chris provides a great answer. However, this is a topic that many have looked into and it would be great if we can get more perspectives. Let me know what you can add. Here is the reply from Chris: This is an area of critical importance — to both parties involved. Often, small companies do not have the same access to deep and experienced legal teams of their larger partners. The result can be a very lengthy full-fledged document complete with legal jargon and sentences that run over three pages that no one really understands.
While a full contract will be needed eventually, it’s not a good way to start working together. Small companies should ensure that the letter clearly addresses: inShare22. Thomson Innovation. IPWatchdog.com | Patents & Patent Law. Business Chemistry | Open Source biopharmaceutical innovation- A mode of entry for firms in emerging markets. Minna Allarakhia The open source model provides a valuable framework for collective knowledge production and dissemination. Mirroring the efforts of the open source community that developed Linux, open biopharmaceutical initiatives are enabling companies to access knowledge-based resources critical to drug development.
The objective of these initiatives is to preserve the downstream technological opportunities for multiple firms.As economies in emerging markets enter the biopharmaceutical arena, it is essential that developed economies share not only technological expertise, but also their experiences regarding knowledge production and dissemination. The goals should be to assist these economies to participate on a level playing field with respect to market entry and product development, to protect local knowledge, and ensure fair access to global knowledge as well as technology.
Introduction Open Source models in the information technology sector Methodology and context. 10 Intriguing Apple Patents to Get Excited About. Apple was granted 563 patents in 2010, some of which will show up in future products and might well change the consumer technology landscape just like the iPod, iPhone, App Store and now the iPad have. Apple patent expert Jack Purcher of Patently Apple has been monitoring the company's patents since 2006.
We asked him why he thought Apple is such an innovative company. “Many have asked me why I think that Apple is more innovative than others. I usually answer that question the same way each time," says Purcher. We've taken a look at some of Apple's recent patent applications to see what exciting developments might be in store for the future — as any one of these patents could be the next step in Steve Jobs's master plan or vision. "Jobs's vision for the digital lifestyle a decade ago is still on a roll. What do you think of these Apple patents? More Apple Resources from Mashable Images courtesy of Patently Apple. Turnitin.
