An exhibition showing the intellectual property (IP) behind Steve Jobs’ innovations opened to the public at WIPO on March 30, 2012 and will run through to World Intellectual Property Day on April 26, 2012. The exhibition ties in with this year’s World Intellectual Property Day theme – Visionary Innovators.
The Patents and Trademarks of Steve Jobs: Art and Technology that Changed the World is located in the atrium of the new WIPO building and is open to the public from 9.00am through 6pm. It features over 300 of the patents that bear Steve Jobs name along with many of Apple’s trademarks. The exhibition is co-organized by WIPO and the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) and supported by the U.S. Mission to the United Nations in Geneva.
The exhibit was created and designed by Invent Now, Inc., a non-profit organization dedicated to fostering invention and creativity through its many programs and which runs the National Inventors Hall of Fame and Museum on the USPTO campus in Alexandria, Virginia.
Opening the exhibition, WIPO Director General Francis Gurry hailed Jobs as "one of the most influential technology thinkers and actors of his generation.”
Ambassador Betty E. King, U.S. Representative to the United Nations in Geneva, said the exhibit was an "opportunity to see how Steve Jobs, at the helm of Apple, acted upon his vision, and in doing so shaped the means by which our world functions and communicates on a daily basis.”
The exhibit, with its iconic panels in the form of iPhones, was first shown in the lobby of the U.S. PTO Office shortly after Job's death, recalled Teresa Stanek Rea, Deputy Under Secretary of Commerce for Intellectual Property and Deputy Director United States Patent and Trademark Office.
Leaving the PTO office late at night, Stanek Rea said she would often find the PTO lobby full of people gazing at the patents. Steve Job's brilliance was in the marriage of design to function, she said, citing the innovator's famous words: “Design is not just what it looks like and feels like. Design is how it works.”

U.S.-CHINA COOPERATION: Bilateral Clean Energy Programs Show Some Results but Should Enhance Their Performance Monitoring
It was so chilly today -- July 11th! -- that I put on a pair of socks.
I confess: I actually bought these just for the IP notice on the bottoms.

Took the kids to see this exhibition last week. It really was excellent. I recommend that you allow yourself plenty of time though. We found that three hours flew past and it cost about £25 for the three of us. Better to go in the morning and make a day of it. There is so much to do and see. It's a pity they don't seem to do a year long pass. I'd happily pay for it. Needless to say my kids and this big kid loved it and we might even try and go back this weekend as they're offering workshops with some of Aardman's animators.
I particularly enjoyed the jam splatting workshop and the plasticine forest. Good to se the Wallace and Gromit sets. Buddding stop frame animators will be interested to see the scale and intricate level of detail in the set designs. Great contraptions and interesting information on intellectual property issues too.
Highly recommended!

The Report
China is a likely winner of the information age supply chain through ecommerce by sticking with its successful strategy of continued steady growth, coupled with continuing (the appearance of) a transparent society (where currently major decisions are made by top government and business officials behind closed doors) which manipulate and manage economies at large. In order to be considered a great global leader China should maintain peace and respect for corporate property rights. They need to immediately focus on their serious environment pollution problems to survive.

The evidence is clear: China has McDonalds restaurants, and with extensive factories they make Dell and other computers. Bill Gates is eagerly pursuing business with China, and the Chinese government has given Microsoft the right to grant post-doctorial fellowships. Key companies invested in technology are willing to go to court to keep the most important Chinese corporate leaders. Kai-Fu Lee, once a vice-president at Microsoft is now Google's manager in China. Mr. Lee was the person at the center of twin lawsuits (suit and countersuit), a battle over which of the two companies would win him to work for them - he may be the ultimate in 'intellectual property.'

What is at issue are personably identifiable information (PII) and intellectual property rights (patents and copyrights) which are legislated and widely respected in the West.
Personal information is the feeder fish at the bottom of the information age food chain. China does not believe people have a right to privacy because of how communism is structured; this is true of members of their society until that person is wealthy and thus powerful enough to opt out of it, and even then the appearance of opting in must be kept.
Even in the West Intellectual property rights are eroding, which is as it should be, as it is not the same as owning a house, and can be damaging to others on a massive scale such as medical patents for aids, cancer, and other life saving drugs.
The Chinese style of governance comes with a 5 thousand year old administrative history of ordering a society consisting of large numbers of people. Because most people in American and the West do not speak their language nor write it, much of China remains a society closed to the English speaking countries. Due to communication barriers the West does not have the very healthy level of respect for China that it should.
Even the Chinese written language may give China advantages with online screens unknown in the West with their thousands of dense glifts, pictographs, and phonetic parts. Currently it is estimated more than 1 billion people use some form of Chinese as their native language.
It can be said that he who owns the resources wins; especially true when supply chains are consistent and reliable. This applies to personally identifiable information in the information age as it relates to sales, because personal information is a building block in the information supply chain. Creating mass marketing campaigns targeting not just individuals but large groups of people is based on creating desire , an example is Steve Jobs and the Apple iPod. This is in addition to knowing what people want, not just what they need.
Meeting the needs of all people in the world is still a goal some people are working towards, while many more others try to capture wealth only for themselves and their investors. From the point of view that in the long run we’re all dead, many investors do not view themselves as breaking any moral or other rules, just trying to get ahead, or make a profit on their investment, which they want right now. This uninformed short sighted view is killing people, and eroding the middle class of nations. Any country that has a middle class will miss it when it is gone; most countries are trying to build their middle class.
Business to Business (B2B) resource supply chains control wealth. Only the wealthy have a reason to protect privacy of information, because the poor and the very poor have much more immediate concerns. Hopefully the Chinese will learn as other countries like Malaysia did, that including diverse ethnic types is not just a ethical ideal, it is a strategy for long term success.
This lesson continues to be a painful and costly lesson to the US, which in many ways is exclusionary. Viewing the poor as beggars while subsidizing production with huge remedies is one of the inadequacies that may be overturned as international growth is managed at a global level because it can not be justified as anything other than corrupt practices. By all accounts I read, generosity in international relationships is mythical and with the digital age has only grown worse . Does it matter what you wear while you ask for money or how well educated you are? Apparently it does.
One size fits all privacy will never suit everyone because it has a biological basis and the need increases with education, and its cousin, wealth. Increasingly to have the opt out choice in terms of privacy you need wealth. That too will change subtly because as ecommerce becomes pervasive, some system or sets of systems will always know that someone is there in some detectable way.
The patent and copyright systems can be damaging to others on a global scale by shutting down creativity, and unfairly favoring their protection even against life, due to medical patents for aids, cancer, and other life saving drugs being so expensive to produce or purchase that people are allowed to die as a result. Calls to action for multinational drug companies to reduce these costs, have changed little or nothing in the developing world. This has been featured so well in the headlines and news stories lately that it can hardly be a surprise to anyone that it is a problem – youth know because Digital Rights Management (DRM) is dead.
Ecommerce is a tool and can be used in many ways. Trading is already a cold transaction and to remove it from human context makes it even more so. In accounting they discuss "arms length transactions" - with ecommerce those arms get pretty long.
So we can expect that the human repercussions of global ecommerce, driven by the integration of B2B procurement systems, could stabilize and destabilize entire populations unless the planning is very good. That means everyone must hold the keys in some way, and be open to transparency at some level which runs counter to special interest groups . Transparency in action does exactly what it need to do, but which, for example, is not a match for existing culture in China.
Real transparency in global governance with a goal to meet the basic needs of all people living sounds like a science fiction plot, but that is what makes it exciting. Transparent governance may only become possible due to radically unexpected causes, like education, religious idealism, or a shared social solution of the young through organizations such as www.one.org.
Ironically one of the religions likely to have a positive effect in China, and likely to benefit from it, is Tibetan Buddhism, long repressed by the current Chinese government.
Ecommerce will not cause peace in the world, educated people working with strong idealism in transparent cultures will. Still my conclusion remains that China is a likely winner of the information age supply chain through ecommerce.
We should invest in China.

Tax Cuts and Jobs Act: Future Rulemaking Should Provide Greater Detail on Paperwork Burden and Economic Effects of International Business Provisions
Schaedler Newsletter, October, 1973. John N. Schadler uses his kooky newsletter to take on VGC’s apparent knockoffs of Swinger, Loose New Roman, and Paprika.
John N. Schaedler was a phototype and reproduction studio in New York City, active in the 1960s–70s. Their newsletter was full of silly jokes and irreverent remarks about customers and competition, but also reported typographic news of the day and announced some original typeface releases.
Hi all,
After a tip-off from a fellow Flickrite, I've found that some of my pics have again been nicked.
The bastard in question this time goes with the screen-name "rowagrecco", and "his" stream can be found here - www.flickr.com/photos/piacabucu/
He (or she) seems to concentrate on Neoplan stuff, so if it's raining and you've got a few hours to kill, have a browse.
One of mine -> flic.kr/p/pQ7Rnm
Just thought I'd warn you lot out there. Although some of my 'creations' have been republished elsewhere, I only agree if asked first - the copyright details are clearly marked, but as some idiots refuse to read/heed them, I'm now watermarking everything I upload. Takes more time, and ruins the photo (although I freely admit that most of mine are garbage), but if it curbs this behaviour, it's something I'll do.
All the best, and happy boozemas to you all.

“Think with the Senses – Feel with the Mind. Art in the Present Tense”
52nd International Art Exhibition, La Biennale di Venezia
curator: Robert Storr
Discussion (Property)
I came across this story in the summer of 2006. A newspaper article described the decade-long dispute - to put it mildly - between Russia and Bulgaria over Russia’s claim that Bulgaria’s continued manufacturing and selling of the AK-47 assault rifle was illegal. This notorious masterpiece of automatic weaponry was conceived by Mikhail Kalashnikov in the late 1940s, and in the socialist era the Soviet Union freely gave its permission, as well as all related technical documentation, to the People’s Republic of Bulgaria, so that the small satellite state could churn out AK-47s to satisfy intense Eastern Bloc demand.
Years later, socialism collapsed and capitalism took over. However, the AK-47 had never been the subject of an international patent application or legal transfer as an intellectual product. If it had been, M. Kalashnikov would have long ago become a billionaire as, according to available statistics to date, somewhere between 50,000,000 and 100,000,000 AK-47s have been marketed worldwide. So, when tough talks on the issue kicked off between Russia and Bulgaria in the 1990s, it was obvious things could not be settled in an international court.
It is now difficult to retrace the twists and turns of the negotiations and other related developments that followed. On the one hand, all meetings of the intergovernmental commissions were secret, and on the other, people like myself don’t usually go to gun show and so have not directly witnessed some of the more embarrassing rows, with Russians publicly telling Bulgarians off for exhibiting and selling stuff that belonged to them. However, during the last few years especially, Bulgarian manufacturers started to claim that they had switched production over to a different assault rifle named the AR that, despite its slight similarity to the AK-47, was entirely modernized in line with NATO standards and was selling very well indeed. For example, according to the Bulgarian press, a couple of years ago the American Central Command for Iraq decided to purchase 40,000 Bulgarian AR assault rifles to arm the new democratic Iraqi army.
That was more or less what I knew when I decided to approach the two sides and try to have them talk in front of the camera. As a first step I focused on the Bulgarian “A…l” factory, a producer of the rifles situated in the picturesque city of K. As an artist unconnected to the military who also lacks any contacts whatsoever with arms dealers, I asked the deputy minister of culture (a nice lady) to help put me in touch with the director-general of “A…l”, Mr. N.I. She phoned the deputy minister of defense (another nice lady) and I was promised a meeting. Since I am paranoid by nature, I also asked a well-known reporter (again a woman) to help.
So, on December 1, 2006, when I appeared before Mr. I. in his office, he started by saying: “The prime minister was the only one who didn’t call about you coming!” Nevertheless, it took me almost three hours to convince the director-general to say a few words on camera. Why? The main problem was that my attempt to get both sides to talk was simultaneously being pursued right in the middle of the last round of heavy negotiations between representatives of Russia and Bulgaria on the intellectual property of military items. Obviously Mr. I., a reasonable middle-aged man, didn’t want to jeopardize the entangled disputes by talking to an artist who, to his question: “But why do you - not a journalist - have an interest in this matter?!” gave a rather peculiar answer: “Because I’m used to reading about intellectual property disputes over a book or a musical score, but never over a weapon, reportedly the most popular of all time”. Eventually, Mr. I. agreed to my request and gave a one-minute interview. Then, off the record, he spoke for more than an hour about how he had studied in the Soviet Union and how he admired the quality of Russian military production. He also spoke about having worked in that “A…l” factory for decades, first as an engineer and later as director-general. His main concern now was how to sustain the jobs of his 5,500 employees, who also produce many civilian products such as CNC equipment.
After the interview, I went to the firm’s website and found a complete list of the assault rifles they were producing with photographs of each one. I requested a few better quality images to use in my project and, after a careful selection, the factory’s design department sent me a CD on December 19, 2006, with a dozen high-resolution samples partially covering their output of AR assault rifles. Unfortunately, the ones I most wanted were deemed “too controversial” to be used in the way I suggested, despite the fact they were publicly shown on the website. “We don’t want to piss the Russians off with your project, right?” said Mr. I. and I had to agree with him. I then hired two skilful young artists to make twelve life-size drawings of the AR rifles, using the less controversial images as a reference. It took the girls two months to finish the job.
Mr. I. was also kind enough to help me illustrate my point even better by arranging for me to buy two real but inoperative 1960s vintage AK-47s (one of them with a folded metal butt) at one of the biggest arms shops in Sofia. Unfortunately, the disarming technique carried out on these rifles - precisely described in the official certificate that came with them - was found unacceptable by the Italian authorities who mandated other disarming procedures for assault rifles. I had to then give up the idea of exporting the AK-47s and decided to buy one in Italy. Consequently here you see a Romanian made AK-47 that comes from an Italian shop and which has a weird additional handle, all of which I can live with.
Parallel to all this Bulgarian activity, I was desperately trying to make contact with the Russian side. On November 21, 2006, the same deputy minister of culture wrote an official letter to the Russian embassy in Sofia, requesting an appointment for me to discuss the issue with a government representative. I was in Miami when I got the bad news from the deputy minister that in a letter dated December 5, 2006, the Russian embassy had declined to set up a meeting for me. Later, back in Sofia, I addressed the same request to a high-ranking person (a lady again) from the Bulgarian Ministry of Foreign Affairs, also soliciting the help of a curator (yet another lady) working for the ministry. Politely and diplomatically, I was told about negotiations going on right then on the same subject and how such a letter focused on my own project would be deemed entirely inappropriate by the Russian embassy. “Can I mention in my story that you are anxious to approach the Russians?” I asked the Foreign Office lady. “I’d rather you didn’t”, was the answer.
I was then introduced to a successful businesswoman who was seriously involved with Russia and, in fact, had the right connections. She kindly took up my cause and finally managed to talk with the Russian ambassador about my project. Even though he didn’t refuse outright to help me, it was still not quite clear if I could really meet someone from their side. At last, thanks to a native Russian (another woman, of a quarter-Armenian descent who, as it happens, is also an international curator based in Bulgaria), the Armenian ambassador in Sofia had a word with the Russian ambassador whereupon a meeting with Mr. P. and Mr. V. from the Russian embassy took place at the latter’s premises on January 24, 2007.
Mr. P. and Mr. V. were both very kind and promised to supply me with a copy of a film broadcast on Russian TV in 2006 that addressed ‘the-Bulgarians-and-our-own-Russian-weapons’ subject. The two gentlemen also promised to try and arrange a meeting with a representative of the Russian “R…t” - the organization authorized to sell weapons internationally - who hopefully would not mind a chat with me about my project.
A few days ago, while standing-by in hope such a meeting, I read in the papers that the negotiations were apparently taking a turn for the better and that new terms that would please both parties were almost agreed.
I don’t know what arguments the two sides had offered to clear all the hurdles. If I can make an educated guess, they were probably more serious than: “Did the Russians ever obtain a license for using our Cyrillic alphabet over the centuries, which as everybody knows, was invented by the Bulgarian brothers Cyril and Methodius back in the ninth century, or for eating Lactobacillus Bulgaricus, the tiny bacteria that makes the best yoghurt?” So, after all those years of wrangling over property rights, I feel personally satisfied that, at least in the assault rifle sector of the international arms trade, there will finally be relative peace.

Brainstorming Map for ED654 course in Digital Citizenship & Intellectual property for M.Ed. program in Online Innovation and Design (ONID). Also, digital citizenship and intellectual property as something other than what should be integrated into the making/sharing section *is* ridiculous, but that's the way the course was able to make it through the academic approval process. So it goes. I may break the top level headers up into boring, less boring, and awesome.

The Japanese electrical products company Sony was founded on May 7 1946. The group consists of Sony Corporation (holding and electronics), Sony Computer Entertainment (games), Sony Pictures Entertainment (motion pictures), Sony Music Entertainment (music), Sony/ATV Music Publishing (music publishing), Sony Financial Holdings (financial services) and others.Its founders Akio Morita and Masaru Ibuka derived the name from sonus, the Latin word for sound, and also from the English slang word "sonny", since they considered themselves to be "sonny boys", a loan word into Japanese which in the early 1950s connoted smart and presentable young men. The initial name for the group was Tokyo Tsushin Kogyo, who were responsible for Japan's first tape recorder, the Type-G.
This file from the New Zealand Patent Office concerns a Phonograph designed by Sony from May 1972. The Patent Office had to approve designs for sale in New Zealand. In 1995 the New Zealand Patent Office came under the control of the Ministry of Commerce and in late 1997 changed its name to the Intellectual Property Office of New Zealand. Its functions remained essentially the same.

The exhibition is co-organized by WIPO and the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) and supported by the U.S. Mission to the United Nations in Geneva.
The exhibit was created and designed by Invent Now, Inc., a non-profit organization dedicated to fostering invention and creativity through its many programs and which runs the National Inventors Hall of Fame and Museum on the USPTO campus in Alexandria, Virginia.
Opening the exhibition, WIPO Director General Francis Gurry hailed Jobs as "one of the most influential technology thinkers and actors of his generation.”
Ambassador Betty E. King, U.S. Representative to the United Nations in Geneva, said the exhibit was an "opportunity to see how Steve Jobs, at the helm of Apple, acted upon his vision, and in doing so shaped the means by which our world functions and communicates on a daily basis.”
The exhibit, with its iconic panels in the form of iPhones, was first shown in the lobby of the U.S. PTO Office shortly after Job's death, recalled Teresa Stanek Rea, Deputy Under Secretary of Commerce for Intellectual Property and Deputy Director United States Patent and Trademark Office.
Leaving the PTO office late at night, Stanek Rea said she would often find the PTO lobby full of people gazing at the patents. Steve Job's brilliance was in the marriage of design to function, she said, citing the innovator's famous words: “Design is not just what it looks like and feels like. Design is how it works.”

I've been so busy thinking about open education I missed how the Toronto waterfront was auctioned off in a private-public partnership to create a SMART city. As Evgeny Morozov says, SMART should be an acronym for Surveillance Marketed As Revolutionary Technology. It really means pervasive, constant surveillance, collecting all the data without any agreements of HOW the data will be used or discussion of WHO owns the data, the intellectual property, the copyright. Information is valuable and tech companies without regulation are collecting as much information as possible, with the hopes that data will be useful later. Natasha says RAW data is an oxymoron and saying things like, "DATA is the NEW OIL" removes an important consideration: THE PEOPLE. This data would not exist without the citizens, what is the responsibility of government to ensure that we don't become data cows, all movements and behaviours measured as a commodity to be monetized in some way without any consent on our parts. While we seemingly give up this consent with our cell phones, once this technology shifts to all the time, everywhere in our environment, there can be no opting out. Ostensibly designed for the tourist and white collar worker, who gets left out. This technology is already being used to keep "unwanted populations" away, making our most marginalized even more precarious. The only small ray of hope is that no decisions have officially been made in Toronto. The Waterfront Toronto organization expertise is creating public-partnernships. They have no data governance experts/ intellectual property lawyers...and they should. Read more from Natasha here: theconversation.com/quayside-toronto-project-proves-that-...
Took the kids to see this exhibition last week. It really was excellent. I recommend that you allow yourself plenty of time though. We found that three hours flew past and it cost about £25 for the three of us. Better to go in the morning and make a day of it. There is so much to do and see. It's a pity they don't seem to do a year long pass. I'd happily pay for it. Needless to say my kids and this big kid loved it and we might even try and go back this weekend as they're offering workshops with some of Aardman's animators.
I particularly enjoyed the jam splatting workshop and the plasticine forest. Good to se the Wallace and Gromit sets. Buddding stop frame animators will be interested to see the scale and intricate level of detail in the set designs. Great contraptions and interesting information on intellectual property issues too.
Highly recommended!

Tell Congress not to censor the internet NOW! - www.fightforthefuture.org/pipa
PROTECT-IP is a bill that has been introduced in the Senate and the House and is moving quickly through Congress. It gives the government and corporations the ability to censor the net, in the name of protecting "creativity". The law would let the government or corporations censor entire sites-- they just have to convince a judge that the site is "dedicated to copyright infringement."
The government has already wrongly shut down sites without any recourse to the site owner. Under this bill, sharing a video with anything copyrighted in it, or what sites like Youtube and Twitter do, would be considered illegal behavior according to this bill.
According to the Congressional Budget Office, this bill would cost us $47 million tax dollars a year — that's for a fix that won't work, disrupts the internet, stifles innovation, shuts out diverse voices, and censors the internet. This bill is bad for creativity and does not protect your rights.

The exhibition is co-organized by WIPO and the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) and supported by the U.S. Mission to the United Nations in Geneva.
The exhibit was created and designed by Invent Now, Inc., a non-profit organization dedicated to fostering invention and creativity through its many programs and which runs the National Inventors Hall of Fame and Museum on the USPTO campus in Alexandria, Virginia.
Opening the exhibition, WIPO Director General Francis Gurry hailed Jobs as "one of the most influential technology thinkers and actors of his generation.”
Ambassador Betty E. King, U.S. Representative to the United Nations in Geneva, said the exhibit was an "opportunity to see how Steve Jobs, at the helm of Apple, acted upon his vision, and in doing so shaped the means by which our world functions and communicates on a daily basis.”
The exhibit, with its iconic panels in the form of iPhones, was first shown in the lobby of the U.S. PTO Office shortly after Job's death, recalled Teresa Stanek Rea, Deputy Under Secretary of Commerce for Intellectual Property and Deputy Director United States Patent and Trademark Office.
Leaving the PTO office late at night, Stanek Rea said she would often find the PTO lobby full of people gazing at the patents. Steve Job's brilliance was in the marriage of design to function, she said, citing the innovator's famous words: “Design is not just what it looks like and feels like. Design is how it works.”

Took the kids to see this exhibition last week. It really was excellent. I recommend that you allow yourself plenty of time though. We found that three hours flew past and it cost about £25 for the three of us. Better to go in the morning and make a day of it. There is so much to do and see. It's a pity they don't seem to do a year long pass. I'd happily pay for it. Needless to say my kids and this big kid loved it and we might even try and go back this weekend as they're offering workshops with some of Aardman's animators.
I particularly enjoyed the jam splatting workshop and the plasticine forest. Good to se the Wallace and Gromit sets. Buddding stop frame animators will be interested to see the scale and intricate level of detail in the set designs. Great contraptions and interesting information on intellectual property issues too.
Highly recommended!
