Apple potrebbe aggiungere il “bordo intelligente” al suo iPhone - Gizmodo IT - Il gadget weblog

Diciamolo, ogni bordo attorno ad uno schermo ci sembra troppo grande, ma Apple potrebbe aver deciso di usare quello spazio per un “bordo intelligente”, a giudicare dal brevetto cui si riferisce il disegno qui sopra. Potrebbe essere una sorta di secondo schermo , in grado di dare all’utente feedback visivo a seconda di quale applicazione sia in uso in quel momento preciso. Come sempre, preferiamo non fidarci troppo delle indiscrezioni , ma una richiesta di brevetto certamente aggiunge qualche elemento di credibilità in più alla storia, anche se Apple non sempre dà seguito ai brevetti che registrsa, come ci insegna la storia.

http://www.repubblica.it/tecnologia/2011/04/06/news/diffamazione_google_suggest-14569467/ 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.

Google punta ai brevetti Nortel affare da 900 milioni di dollari - Repubblica.it

Mountain View ha annunciato di aver raggiunto un'intesa preliminare con l'ex colosso canadese in bancarotta per acquisire i circa 6000 brevetti nel campo delle telecomunicazioni. Ma Microsoft non ci sta: "Abbiamo la licenza universale e perpetua su tutte le innovazioni della società" GOOGLE all'attacco di Nortel, l'azienda canadese ex colosso delle telecomunicazioni ora in bancarotta. Mountain View ha annunciato di aver raggiunto un'intesa preliminare per l'acquisizione dell'azienda, a un prezzo per ora di circa 900 milioni di dollari. L'acquisto di Nortel, una volta perfezionato, permetterebbe a Google di usufruire dei circa 6000 brevetti nel campo delle telecomunicazioni depositati dall'azienda canadese e che comprende tecnologie wireless, il 4G, Internet, i service provider, il networking e molto altro ancora.
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.

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. http://creo.ptc.com/2011/03/22/protecting-intellectual-property/

Google Patents Search Box With Two Buttons

http://mashable.com/2009/09/02/google-search-patent/ Intellectual property laws are in place for good reason. But is Google’s iconically simplistic home page interface reason enough? 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 .

Patently Apple

Texas based Touchscreen Gestures LLC is suing Apple for patent infringement. The lawsuit is based on four specific patents covering various touch related technologies that they claim the iPhone and iPad infringe upon. After the "Discovery" phase, Touchscreen Gestures LLC believes that the facts point to Apple's willful infringement. It should be pointed out that Apple is in possession of many granted patents regarding multi-touch technology , the particular type of touch technology that debuted on the iPhone in 2007. Touchscreen Gesture patents don't appear to relate to multi-touch technologies in any way. In 2009 we learned that Apple began researching new sophisticated in-vehicle navigation systems . http://www.patentlyapple.com/patently-apple/
Intellectual Property Intellectual property rights are exclusive rights over creations of the mind. IP rights protect the interests of creators by giving them property rights over their creations. IP is usually divided into two branches: copyright, which protects literary and artistic works; and industrial property, which protects inventions. Copyright Copyright laws cover creations of the mind and artistic creations, and may only be claimed by the creator or on his or her behalf. http://www.hypios.com/ip

Legal Aspects of Open Innovation for Small Companies: A P&G Perspective | 15inno

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.

Cheryl Milone, Article One Partners Article One Partners (AOP), the world’s largest patent research community, earlier today announced the results from its second annual Napa summit . In a comprehensive survey designed to gauge the state of the global patent industry, 36 senior executives from more than 20 Intellectual Property (IP)-leading companies discussed issues facing the IP industry. The survey results, which were compiled anonymously, found that although patent threats are on the rise, collaborative solutions are key to both deterring and managing nuisance lawsuits.
