[Open Design] Open Design Definition: a section about IP

Wed May 22 12:16:36 UTC 2013

Dear all,
I've just added a proposal for the Intellectual Property section with 
the commit ee7c622 
(https://github.com/OpenDesign-WorkingGroup/Open-Design-Definition/commit/ee7c622a809bd4861794ccba4df2e5c74ec5b4f8) 
.

Let me know what you think about it. The idea is that we define a sort 
of primer / framework for making it clear to the open designers which 
are the different ways that can protect their project (example: 
trademark for brand identity, copyright for illustration, design rights 
for product design, no protection for interior and service design - as 
it seems - and so on) and what they can do in each case for sharing a 
project as Open Design (example: for copyright, use certain CC 
licenses). We would have to elaborate this a bit more, and base it on 
the most common laws (even if the situation may change in different 
countries, at least it would be a starting point for understanding what 
is open design also legally).

What do you think about it?

Br,

Massimo
