Talk:Student Projects:IT Patents And Copyrights
The One-Pager
So here are the requirements for the one-pager:
Each team must provide a one-page project description, which will be worth 10% of the project grade: team members, topic, sub-topics, sources, team organization, etc.
I would suggest the outline I posted for topics and sub-topics. One of the points in lecture on Thursday made me think that it would possibly be interesting to explore the "fringe" of patentable/copyrightable ideas: interfaces and file formats.
For sources: LCA at Microsoft for position papers, www.findlaw.com (Do we have access to West Law?) for case law, government web sites for policies and statutes, our Federal Congressmen (and -women) would also be able to point us to position papers and lobbyists, I would expect.
I don't have any strong preferences, but I think I would like to contact our Congresspeople for info.
