Proprietary origami is the old sow that eats her own farrow.
That line is cheerfully stolen from James Joyce -- farrow being an old way of saying piglets.
The two-piece pig was created by Akira Yoshizawa or Adolfo Cerceda, depending on your point-of-view, and is found in Harbin's Secrets of Origami. The piglets are an adaptation of a traditional model by Jack Skillman, diagrammed in Randeltt's Best of Origami. (Yes, yes, I own both books. Came by them honest, too.)
Just a call to sanity and a reminder that the best way to respect and support the work of professional origami artists is to not emulate them. If you're an amateur origami artist, do you really need to control your work in all places and in all times? Creative Commons licensing is a better alternative to the superstition-laden copyright and will do much more to promote the art than trolling eBay for ebooks. Stop trying to nail Jell-O™ to the wall and join the party -- it isn't origami till you share it.

Căutăm împreună soluţii pentru combaterea produselor contrafăcute şi a pirateriei, şi pentru protejarea drepturilor de proprietate intelectuală. Ambasada a găzduit astăzi o masă rotundă, la care procurori şi specialişti au discutat despre elaborarea unei strategii naționale privind proprietatea intelectuală şi despre cum pot fi sprijinite instituţiile responsabile de aplicarea acesteia.
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!

Canal Street in Manhattan is famous for selling knock-off purses and other items that may or may not run afoul of trademark or copyright laws. Some vendors have stores. Others work from cases that can be closed and carted off on a moment's notice. Some items are perfectly legal knock-offs. Some are counterfeit goods. Others may be legitimately licensed products that were dumped as surplus. Still others - so-called "gray market goods" - may have been legitimately licensed for sale overseas but not intended for sale the United States.

Geneivat da'at
Geneivat da'at (גניבת דעת, literally "mind theft") is a concept in Jewish law and ethics, mobilized in a wide spectrum of interpersonal situations, especially in business. It is attributed to the Talmudic sage Samuel of Nehardea in Talmud Chullin (94a): "It is forbidden to mislead people, even a non-Jew." Indeed, one Midrash states that geneivat da'at is the worst type of theft.
The principle has been used to caution against overdone packaging, which leaves the impression of a larger product.[8] Similarly, advertising a luxury item as if it were a necessity, and any claims or even wrapping paper that leaves a false impression could cross the line set by geneivat da'at rules.[9]
“Mariam and music, we are a double love story, because that’s how we found each other - through music. I was already a musician, and so was Mariam, she was a singer. So it was music that brought us together,” says Amadou about the duo playing Mali Bambara music (see video).

Nigerian musician and songwriter Cobhams Emmanuel Asuquo, who was born blind, performed on the sidelines of an international conference to improve timely access to copyright-protected content by the visually impaired. At a time when the sighted are enjoying unprecedented ease of access to copyright-protected content, a combination of social, economic, technological and legal factors, including the operation of copyright protection systems, are converging to impede access to books, newspapers, magazines or other published works by the blind or other print-disabled persons.
Cobhams shared his unique creative expression with WIPO on July 13, 2009 (see video).

The Innovation Economy: Unleashing Intellectual Property to Fuel Growth and Create Jobs
June 2, 2010, 12:00pm – 1:00pm
Watch a video of this event here: www.americanprogress.org/events/2010/06/pto.html
Under Secretary of Commerce for Intellectual Property and Director of the United States Patent and Trademark Office David Kappos appeared at the Center for American Progress to discuss the role of innovation as a principal driver of economic growth and job creation. Harvard Business Review recently described the USPTO as the "biggest job creator you never heard of" because inventions that can spark new businesses are stuck in the backlog of unprocessed patent applications. Under Secretary Kappos discussed his agenda for reducing the backlog and speeding the delivery of innovative goods and services to market.
How 3M built a self-directed interdependent, collaborative, learning community within the corporate environment with semi-permeable flow through to the open DS106 community, thus allowing IP to remain private but ideas to nourish creativity and allow innovation to flourish. Rochelle Lockridge, the patroness link between the two communities believes chaos with vision and accountability is the key, allowing a sort of structured serendipity. Staff who sign up for this professional development opportunity make use of the McKnight principle, where 15% of employee time is spent on personal interest projects.

Smart speaker maker Sonos Inc. has recently filed a lawsuit against Google, claiming that the search giant has copied its patented home speaker technology.
California-based Sonos is in the business of making high-end home sound systems that users can control with their voice. Although the firm is famous for its quality indoor speakers, it also makes the related accessories, like amplifiers.
Through the Patent Infringement suits filed in the Log Angeles Federal District Court and with the U.S. International Trade Commission, the company is looking for financial damages and a sales ban on Google’s speakers, smartphones, and laptops, in the US market.
Sonos claimed that the features in the Google Home smart speakers infringed upon five of its patents, including technologies that enable their speakers to communicate and synchronize with each other wirelessly. The company further claimed that the scope of Intellectual Property (IP) infringement could be much bigger, potentially beyond the search giant. ✅ For view source: bit.ly/39XJWrS

Los activistas pro ciberderechos llevan desde 2008 alertando de los peligros que esconde el Acuerdo Comercial contra la Falsificación (ACTA), que negocia en secreto EEUU con varios países, la Unión Europea entre ellos. Pero hoy, es la primera vez que un organismo oficial ha alzado la voz en contra. El Supervisor Europeo para la Protección de los Datos (SEPD) opina que el secretismo de las negociaciones es inaceptable. Y, ya entrando en el fondo del asunto, considera que la defensa de la propiedad intelectual no puede ponerse por encima de los derechos fundamentales.
El SEPD (una especie de Agencia para la Protección de los Datos europea) ha publicado una opinión que critica tanto la forma como el fondo con el que se están llevando las negociaciones del ACTA.
Lo primero que cuestiona es que, siendo un organismo oficial con competencias en la materia, "no ha sido consultado por la Comisión Europea sobre el contenido de un acuerdo que suscita cuestiones relevantes para los derechos fundamentales, en particular el derecho a la privacidad y la protección de datos".
El ACTA es un acuerdo impulsado por EEUU que, en principio, tenía el objetivo de acordar con las principales potencias del mundo mecanismos para combatir la piratería y falsificación de productos a escala comercial. Sin embargo, uno de sus puntales es también la protección de la propiedad intelectual en Internet.
Por expreso deseo de los estadounidenses las conversaciones son secretas y, al finalizar, solo se emite un escueto comunicado de una página. La 7ª ronda de negociaciones tuvo lugar en México hace unas semanas. Dos de las medidas que se contemplan es la de cortar la conexión a usuarios y exigir a los operadores vigilar el material que circula por sus redes.
Pues, frente al secretismo, el SEPD pide que las conversaciones se abran. Llega a pedir, incluso, una consulta pública sobre los temas a discutir. Con esto, asegura la opinión, "se ayudaría a asegurar que las medidas a adoptar están en consonancia con las exigencias de las leyes de protección de datos y de privacidad de Europa".
Otra de sus recomendaciones pide buscar medios menos intrusivos para combatir la piratería en Internet. Para el SEPD, el modelo de los tres avisos (a los que compartan archivos antes de cortarle la conexión) no es necesario para conseguir proteger los derechos de propiedad intelectual. También recuerda que el intercambio internacional de datos personales entre autoridades requiere cumplir una serie de salvaguardas muy exigentes.
El SEPD, Peter Hustinx llegó a decir: "Aunque la propiedad intelectual es importante para la sociedad y debe ser protegida, no puede colocarse por encima de los derechos fundamentales a la privacidad y la protección de datos.
