Интеллектуальная собственность. Дайджест.

В Microsoft изобрели персонализированные уведомления о зарядке устройства

Одна из последних патентных заявок Microsoft посвящена системе персонализированных уведомлений о том, что владельцу нужно зарядить свой гаджет. Персонализация реализуется на основе изучения его личных паттернов использования.

Техногигант обещает предсказывать поведение пользователя на основе его предыдущих действий и заблаговременно предупреждать его, что надо поставить телефон на зарядку. Уведомления могут быть реализованы по-разному, например, сообщениями на экране, включением или переменой цвета светодиода.

Технология уже вызвала настороженность по поводу защиты персональных данных. Один из вариантов реализации подразумевает отслеживание того, в какие игры и��рает пользователь, с кем он играет и использует ли гарнитуру.

Помощь роботов изобретателям должна быть прозрачна и проверена

Американские патентные поверенные при подаче патентных заявок должны раскрывать вклад искусственного интеллекта в изобретение. Ведомство по патентам и товарным знакам США выпустило новый гайдлайн по оформлению охранных документов на технологии, созданные с помощью ИИ-моделей. Помимо запрета опускать описание вклада ИИ в разработку, он содержит требование проверять текст заявки и всю указанную в нём информацию, если заявку тоже составлял искусственный интеллект. Иначе возможны критические ошибки и упущения.

Предыдущее руководство USPTO по подаче заявок на изобретения с участием ИИ утверждало, что патенты будут выдаваться только в случае существенного вклада человека в разработку. Правда, как именно оценивать уровень вклада и каким он должен быть, пока не описано.

LG продали патенты на мобильные кодеки китайской Oppo

Корейские производители электроники продали часть патентного портфеля, связанного со смартфонами, китайской компании Oppo. Всего было продано 48 патентов. В основном они относятся к кодекам, то есть, ПО для сжатия цифрового видео и аудио и преобразования в популярные форматы, такие, как MP4 и AAC.

Это незначительная часть интеллектуальной собственности для LG, у корпорации в активе осталось более 24 000 патентов, связанных с 4G, 5G, Wi-Fi и другими ключевыми для мобильной передачи данных технологиями.

С рынка смартфонов корейцы ушли несколько лет назад, не выдержав конкуренции с более активными, специализированными и современными игроками. Подразделение LG Mobile генерировало операционные убытки с 2015 года. Компания пыталась исправить эту ситуацию, выпустила несколько интересных моделей смартфонов, но успеха не добилась.

Amazon оказался виновным ��а полмиллиарда в нарушении ключевых облачных патентов

Крупнейший провайдер облачных сервисов Amazon Web Services заплатит компании Kove $525 млн за нарушение патентов в области технологий хранения данных, решил суд. Спорные технологии, по утверждениям представителей Kove, являются критичными в реализации хранения и извлечения больших объемов данных для облачных вычислений.

Базирующаяся в Чикаго Kove подала на Amazon в суд в 2018 году и утверждает, что стала пионером в области технологий высокопроизводительного облачного хранения данных задолго до прихода популярности облачных технологий. Amazon собирается подавать апелляцию, утверждая, что патенты недействительны.

Tesla показала пальцы и колени нового робота

Несколько свежих патентных заявок Tesla описывают узлы, обеспечивающие движение их нового человекообразного робота Optimus Gen 2. Несколько месяцев назад компания официально представила этот проект роботов нового поколения, которые смогут взять на себя выполняемые людьми повторяющиеся задачи.

Новые роботы Tesla оказались убедительнее предыдущего поколения. В частности, в них используются разработанные и созданные силами самой корпорации приводы, обеспечивающие движение конечностей.

В одном из новых патентов описывается сам привод и методология его проектирования. Описано несколько типов приводов: одни типы используются для сочленений бедер и плеч с туловищем, другие типы — для запястий, локтей и голеней, прочие — для коленей и т.д.

Отдельный патент посвящён коленному суставу, в котором нижняя часть может вращаться относительно верхней по нескольким осям вращения.

В патенте на роборуку описываются пальцы с отдельными приводами, которые обеспечивают им повышенную подвижность и ловкость.

anyway I have my second pottery class tomorrow & I am PSYCHED, I made 2 bowls & a weird cup last week so imagine what I might be able to do now that I have some idea of what I’m doing

(here are my bowls & cup, I know they all look the same but my pottery teacher assured me they shrink a lot in the kiln so one of them is a small cup & two of them are small bowls, like for tiny snacks)

#liiiife updates!#attempting to pull myself out of the deep horrible depression i’ve been in since a while before my mum died!#that obviously did not help but i was feeling Not Great before that too #also it feels WILD that that’s hopefully the last law assessment i have to do #(I only needed a 15/50 to pass & god I can only assume I achieved that at least)#(also no i am not now a lawyer #i took the wrong subjects for that & the best i could have done was a trademark/patent attorney)

The Secret Guide to Find the Best Intellectual Property Lawyer

In today's rapidly evolving world, intellectual property (IP) has become a valuable and fiercely protected asset. Whether you're a creative artist, a tech startup, or an established corporation, your ideas, inventions, and innovations deserve safeguarding. This is where intellectual property lawyers come into play. In this article, we'll explore the critical role of intellectual property lawyers and why their expertise is indispensable in an era of creativity and innovation.

Understanding Intellectual Property

Before we delve into the role of an intellectual property lawyer, it's essential to grasp what intellectual property encompasses. Intellectual property refers to the legal rights granted to individuals or entities over their creations or inventions. These creations can include:

Copyrightable Works: Such as literature, music, films, and software. Trademarks: Identifiers of goods or services that distinguish them from others. Patents: Exclusive rights to inventions, processes, and innovations. Trade Secrets: Proprietary information, like manufacturing processes, formulas, or customer lists.

The Vital Role of Intellectual Property Lawyers

Strategic Counsel: Intellectual property lawyers provide strategic guidance on how to protect your IP assets. They assess your unique needs and develop a customized plan to safeguard your creations.

IP Portfolio Management: For businesses, managing a portfolio of IP assets can be complex. Lawyers assist in organizing, maintaining, and enforcing these assets, ensuring they remain valuable assets.

Registration and Filing: Intellectual property lawyers are experts in filing and registering IP with the appropriate government authorities. This includes copyright registrations, trademark applications, and patent filings.

IP Enforcement: When someone infringes upon your intellectual property rights, an IP lawyer is your advocate. They can send cease-and-desist letters, negotiate settlements, or take legal action on your behalf.

Defensive Strategies: Intellectual property lawyers can help clients defend against allegations of IP infringement. They evaluate the claims, gather evidence, and develop a strong defense strategy.

Licensing and Contracts: Many IP owners license their rights to others. Lawyers negotiate and draft licensing agreements, ensuring that the terms protect the IP owner's interests.

Due Diligence: In mergers, acquisitions, or investments, intellectual property lawyers conduct due diligence to assess the value and risks associated with IP assets.

Challenges in the Digital Age

In today's digital age, the protection of intellectual property faces unique challenges. The ease of copying and distributing digital content, the rise of online infringement, and the global nature of the internet have added complexity to IP issues. Intellectual property lawyers must adapt to these challenges by staying current on legal developments, cybersecurity threats, and international IP treaties.

The Importance of Early Action

One crucial aspect of intellectual property protection is early action. Waiting until an issue arises can be costly and limit your legal options. Intellectual property lawyers stress the importance of proactive protection. Whether you're an individual artist or a business entity, consulting with an IP lawyer early in the creative or innovative process can help you establish a strong foundation for protection.

Navigating International IP Law:

In our interconnected world, intellectual property often crosses international borders. Intellectual property lawyers are well-versed in international IP treaties and agreements. They can assist clients in protecting their IP rights globally, ensuring that innovations, trademarks, and copyrights are safeguarded in multiple jurisdictions.

IP Litigation and Enforcement:

When disputes over intellectual property arise, IP lawyers are prepared to advocate for their clients in legal proceedings. IP litigation can be complex, involving issues such as patent infringement, copyright disputes, or trademark challenges. Lawyers specializing in IP have the expertise to build strong cases and represent their clients effectively in court.

Emerging Technologies and IP:

As technology continues to advance, intellectual property lawyers are at the forefront of addressing novel challenges. This includes issues related to artificial intelligence, blockchain, virtual reality, and biotechnology. Lawyers work to ensure that innovators in these fields have adequate protection for their creations while also navigating the ethical and legal complexities that arise.

Digital Rights Management (DRM):

In the digital age, the protection of digital content is paramount. IP lawyers play a role in advising content creators and distributors on implementing DRM strategies to prevent unauthorized copying or distribution of digital assets.

Open Source and IP Licensing:

Open-source software and collaborative projects have become essential parts of the tech industry. Intellectual property lawyers help clients understand the intricacies of open-source licensing and ensure compliance with license terms when using open-source software in their projects.

Protection Against Counterfeiting and Piracy:

Counterfeiting and piracy remain significant threats to intellectual property rights. IP lawyers work with clients to develop strategies to combat counterfeit products and piracy in various industries, from fashion to pharmaceuticals.

Education and Awareness:

Intellectual property lawyers often play an educational role, helping clients understand the importance of IP protection. They can offer guidance on best practices for IP management within organizations, including employee training on IP issues.

Environmental Considerations:

In some cases, intellectual property intersects with environmental concerns. IP lawyers work with clients to protect environmentally sustainable innovations, such as clean energy technologies, and navigate IP issues related to environmental regulations and patents.

Ethical Considerations:

The ethical responsibilities of IP lawyers are multifaceted. They must uphold the highest ethical standards in their practice, ensuring confidentiality, avoiding conflicts of interest, and providing clients with honest and transparent advice. Ethical considerations are particularly important when dealing with sensitive matters such as trade secrets.

Conclusion: Guardians of Innovation and Creativity

In a rapidly evolving world driven by innovation and creativity, intellectual property lawyers serve as essential guardians of the rights and interests of individuals, businesses, and organizations. They navigate complex legal landscapes, address emerging challenges in technology and digital media, and provide strategic guidance that allows innovators to thrive while protecting their valuable creations.

The role of an intellectual property lawyer extends beyond legal expertise; it encompasses a commitment to fostering innovation, creativity, and the responsible management of intellectual assets. By collaborating with these legal professionals, individuals and entities can navigate the intricate terrain of intellectual property rights, secure their innovations, and contribute to the vibrant tapestry of human progress. In an age where ideas and innovations are catalysts for change, intellectual property lawyers are instrumental in safeguarding the intellectual legacy of today and the innovations of tomorrow.

What fashion makes the heritage cut? What Shoemaker of Dreams and even the Walter Albini relaunch indicates…

The Salvatore Ferragamo documentary Shoemaker of Dreams directed by Luca Guadagnino is finally available on AppleTV and, if you missed it in theaters or at other screenings in Italy since its first premieres in 2021, this is the time to watch it. Mix yourself an Aperol Spritz, imagine you’re at Procacci or Obika on Via Tornabuoni (unfortunately the former Anglo-American haunt featured in Tea with Mussolini, Doney’s, closed years ago…) and immerse yourself in the story of this Southern Italian immigrant to the United States who revolutionized shoes and shoe-making for Florentines and the wider world. Full of personal insights, the documentary also features Salvatore Ferragamo’s own voice taken from 1955 recordings of his Memoirs and interviews with Australian TV outlets in 1958. This is an especially moving part of the documentary because Salvatore Ferragamo’s voice, in some ways, perfectly encapsulates the context of the cultural moments in which he participated beyond fashion. Heritage, we might say, before heritage. These moments include Italians coming to the United States in the early 20th century with the requisite $20 entrance fee to create new lives and new identities for themselves, the beginnings of the movie industry in Santa Barbara in all its creativity and its decampment to Hollywood, and the determination of entrepreneurs to succeed against all odds and Florentine expectations, even in a complex early 20th century Italy facing economic sanctions.

But, even more than that, the documentary is a testament to one man’s vision of shoes, from how they should be made, to the creativity they can embody and the messages they can impart. And this vision, on display more than 100 years later, is perhaps the most striking thing about the documentary because the vision highlights how we can project the present into the future and extend a role to the past in our visions of the present. Speaking after the bankruptcy of his business in 1933, Ferragamo is quoted in the documentary

For the first time in my life, I started to look back over the shoulder of my past. As a flash, it all seemed to see many things which I had, until then, never seen before. I looked forward to my future.

Looking to our past, even as we craft our personal narratives, and spotting what matters and what doesn’t, and how to use that for the benefit of our present and our future, is a central question at the heart of heritage.

In fashion, a field defined by its timeliness (as Saviolo and Corbellini in particular describe it), spotting what will matter over time is an endeavor. But, as time passes, time acts almost as a sieve, filtering out what matters and what doesn’t, what is timeless and what is timely for present generations. The results of the application of time can be unexpected (would you have thought that thinly rectangular sunglasses, low rise pants and other silhouettes from the late nineties and early noughties would be back in fashion?). The results can also be unexpected but somewhat pre-identifiable, driven by marketing, important brand anniversaries, and brand mythmaking as much as by nostalgia and/or individual and collective tastes (Exhibit A: the resurgence of the Fendi Baguette bag). Designers often play an important role in the curation of the past, as Maximilian Davis is doing at Ferragamo now- citing to Ferragamo’s gold sandal and building on the F heel, among other design details.

The pull between the past and the present, what we might term a battle for the future of fashion- heritage- also depends on the law. And this is also on display in Shoemaker of Dreams. One of the primary pieces of evidence shown during the documentary as a testament to Ferragamo’s vision are the multitude of patents he had on the procedures for his shoe designs, the processes to make them, and their look (the Ferragamo Museum also staged an insightful exhibit on these patents in 2004). What we can take from the past and what we can re-use often depends on whether someone has a right to control a production, the use of a design, its reproduction and even the associations we make and have with that design. Some of the most insightful of Ferragamo’s creations (many reproduced ingeniously as part of the Ferragamo’s Creations line) are the fruit of others’ control of raw materials (or lack thereof), his own patents which reserved control over specific parts to Ferragamo himself for a time, the matching of tradition and innovation, and the inspiration that came from themes, recalling, and remembering. While the documentary uses the Invisible Sandal (one of the most evocative examples I’ve explored extensively in other work) and the caged heel, the facts surrounding Ferragamo’s wedge made with cork are particularly evocative of the numerous threads that make up the design of one of his shoes. In his Memoirs, Ferragamo details how, after designing them years before, he discovered that a version of wedge soles had been worn centuries before thanks to an archeological excavation at Villa di Boccaccio outside Florence in 1950. As Ferragamo shares in another part of the documentary

I have not followed any master. I have not followed any school. Where have I learned all that I know? I had a clear vision that my work had never been done before. I have done it. Where? I do not know. But everything that I have done since my boyhood time, it has been work which came back to me. All I have to do while I work is to sit down and recall what I know about this work and do it again.

Knowing what fashion heritage is years later, what heritage makes the cut, is often a product of vision and, as Ferragamo’s work shows, of the tools and instruments that support that vision, from patents to trademarks, and even a robust public domain and other doctrines that allow for re-mixing, re-use, and commentary. As time goes on, curation and preservation, saving the vision and the tools and instruments that support that vision, are also central to identifying what is fashion heritage and how it can impact our fashion today. This is why archives themselves are also important for making the heritage cut.

And the acquiring of rights and archives to support a contemporary vision is what we see happening today with the revival of heritage brands, like that of the incredibly prescient Walter Albini, who, as a designer, preceded Giorgio Armani in his impact on Italian ready-to-wear and the concept of Milanese fashion. The announcement of the revival of the Walter Albini brand noted that the investment company that is relaunching it acquired the designer’s “intellectual property and archives”, including the acquisition of a large tangible archive of “garments, costume jewellery, drawings, photographs, and other memorabilia” from Dr. Barbara Curti, who is listed as Chief Memory Officer of the Walter Albini Archive. While we will have to see what the vision for a 21st century Walter Albini line is, the acquisition of the previous brand’s intellectual property and archives are fundamental first steps to identifying what fashion heritage has made the cut for our present times.
