[Open Design + Hardware] legal paper on design

[Massimo Menichinelli]

Hi Tom (and all),
I've finally had the time to read 2-3 times your paper, so I finally can 
reply. First of all, thank you very much for sharing it, and thanks for 
the effort of making clearer this topic of IP and Open Design. I would 
say that this is a big step forward for all of us, even if the paper 
considers only the European context it is the first real research I've 
encountered on the issue (so it's really a milestone!).

It has been very useful for me in order to work on the Open Design 
Definition. If you remember it, we were about to specify all the 
different forms of IP that can be applied to any design project, and 
what to do with each form of IP in order to share the project and make 
it Open Design. I hope to have understood well your paper, I've used a 
lot of content from it, please have a look at the last version of the 
Open Design Definition here:

https://github.com/OpenDesign-WorkingGroup/Open-Design-Definition/blob/master/open.design_definition/open.design.definition.md

Please also remember that you can directly edit in the browser the file 
by going to this link:
https://github.com/OpenDesign-WorkingGroup/Open-Design-Definition/edit/master/open.design_definition/open.design.definition.md

But you can also reply to this e-mail, and I will work on the definition 
considering your e-mails.
We still need to focus on the patents, trade mark and trade dress before 
completing this section (and therefore the real first version of the 
definition, let's say that it will be with version 0.5).

Look forward to reading your comments on the topic! :)

Best regards,

Massimo
