Copyrights, Patents, and Trademarks

Copyrights, Patents, and Trademarks Copyrights, Patents, and Trademarks The lines isolating copyrights, licenses, and trademarks can be fine in reality on a superficial level, yet these legitimate insurances are different and its significant for business people to see how and why. You must have the option to ensure your privileges to your materials, developments, items, thoughts, and administrations. In the event that youre not certain what kind of assurance you need given the idea of your business, its consistently a smart thought to talk with a lawyer. You should do so regardless of whether you think youre sure, just to be sure that your comprehension is right. All things considered, you fundamentally have three options with regards to securing yourself against somebody taking your inventions or protected innovation. In spite of their likenesses, these insurances arent tradable. Each ordinarily covers an alternate sort of property and organizations frequently utilize a blend of copyrights, licenses, and trademarks to guarantee that their privileges are completely ensured. Copyrights Copyright secures certain types of articulation. This incorporates masterpieces just as composed materials. It does exclude a whole expansive subject or theme, but instead just what you may communicate about that subject or point. You cannot copyright World War II, however you can copyright a book you expounded on it. Copyright is conceded to the person who makes a type of articulation. It regularly identifies with licensed innovation as opposed to an unmistakable creation. You can officially enlist a copyright, yet you may likewise have programmed insurance of your privileges even without enrolling something you made. Licenses A patent ensures your privileges to an innovation normally something substantial, yet not generally. Licensing is a lawful procedure that is cultivated by presenting a proper patent application to the United States Patent and Trademark Office. Expenses change contingent on precisely what youre attempting to patent. A patent needs to originate from an administrative substance, and it fundamentally keeps others from making a similar innovation, at that point assembling and selling it under their own names and terms. Trademarks Trademarks are utilized to distinguish logos, plans, jingles, mottos, or even a solitary word or a progression of words that recognize and speak to your organization, item, or administration. Think McDonalds brilliant curves or GEICOs talkative and friendly gecko. Would you be able to see both of these things and not quickly think about the brand they speak to? Trademarks are one of a kind and explicit things that speak to and identify with you or your organization, and theyre amazing when they grab hold. In the event that your retail facade or business card incorporates a picture of a lady spinning on one high heel and this is your picture, youll need to ensure it so nobody else can turn it off into their own structure. A trademark must be enlisted with the Patent and Trademark Office in the United States, and it can cost a few hundred dollars.

How Amna reignited her career after moving countries

How Amna reignited her career after moving countries The power of community We love sharing our community member’s stories. Storytelling and sharing remind us we are  all  human,  and we all go through experiences through our lives. It is an opportunity to share and learn from each other  by way of those lived experiences.         This is Amna’s story: ‘I was in the Middle-East  working  in the Energy  sector with an  organisation  that greatly  valued me, I was treated like family.    A few years later, I had my first-born and soon  after  I started to  feel restless, I wanted to go back to work but the opportunity was  not easy to see. It felt as though my industry didn’t know how to reconcile work and family life’. It’s true, many traditional male-dominated industries, like the energy sector, are only just beginning to see the benefits of flexible working. However,  in Australia  and New Zealand,  we are starting to see a shift in the mindset with some big organisations, like AGL or Viva Energy, two  FlexCareers  progressive employer partners, leading the way.     ‘My son was a baby when  we  relocated to Australia  as a family.  We were excited, confused,  happy  and overwhelmed all at the  same time.  We saw it as a fresh start in every sense, particularly for me starting my career again and joining the workforce  full-time.    In the beginning, I was fortunate to support my previous employer in the Middle East from Australia in a telecommunications role  part-time. This allowed me to get our family settled and find quality child-care for my son.’   Whether a recent migrant to Australia or not, finding  the right childcare is something we all  think  and talk about.  Researching the childcare centres around your area and understanding the costs involved are paramount  to setting you  up for success  as you return to work.       While Amna could tick this first step off her list with confidence, she says this is where the real challenges for her started:  â€˜Some of the challenges I came up against were  1. Education and experience  outside  of Australia  considered lacking,  2. A  career gap with no full-time  experience for several months,  3. No  professional  network in Australia  (being new to the country),  4. No  friends/family for support.  The recruiters I presented to and the job applications I submitted were getting me nowhere. The process was exhausting, I wasn’t  hearing  back  from employers,  and I was losing hope and confidence’.     The way Amna felt is not uncommon for many women looking to return to the workforce.  Traditionally recruiters  try to predict whether the candidate will be an asset to the company based on criteria such as skills, previous performance, and recommendations from other employers: ‘The recruiters  categorized  me as ‘High-risk candidate’  based on those four reasons.  Naturally,  it did hurt my confidence level when I  repeatedly  got a negative response from  the  recruitment  industry’.     Although this is true, where  a job-seeking-support platform like ours can really help you and lead you, is  to  find  your ideal career with a progressive organisation. Plus, it comes  with support from coaches and an online community.     ‘Henry Ford once  said,  â€˜If you always do  what you’ve done, you’ll always get what you’ve always got’. I knew I had to change my  strategy  and shake things up.  Although I was tailoring my cover letters and CV, I needed to find out why is wasn’t working  and I needed  support…This is when I came across FlexCareers, a business ahead of their time and redefining work’.     When Amna joined our online community, she was instantly welcomed and accepted as a member of the community: ‘FlexCareers offers a great forum through their Facebook group. I was able to talk to so many wonderful people.  And find support from  some of the best career coaches.  People who really understood the Australian market and who helped me align my strategy with the requirements.    With all the support and guidance offered, I was soon able to identify the gaps in my CV, cover letter and my overall approach.’   Amna with her son. More than  just  helping her with her approach, her CV and cover letter, Amna was able to connect with individuals who could relate to her situation and experience and even offer her direct help: The most  important  thing I learned  after speaking  with the Flexcoach  was that I needed to be very specific in what I wanted to do  including industry and my experience.    During my online exchanges within  the group, a  woman, who was  also a member of the  FlexCareers  community, stepped forward.    She referred  me to  her  hiring manager  in her workplace. Soon after I was called in for an interview.  Two weeks later I was an employee of one of the most  progressive  organisations  in Australia.   Shared experiences, like Amnas, bolster our sense of belonging which in turn makes us feel worthwhile. Sharing  personal stories with others, including an online community like our Facebook group, makes the experiences more intense and memorable.    You’re helping others learn from you: ‘What helped the most was connecting with others. Knowing who to talk to, who to get support from, and knowing that there are some amazing people out there who understand the challenges we go through and who have the knowledge to make our journey a little bit easier and us â€" a little bit wiser.’     In a nutshell,  Amna said her journey was not smooth, in fact, quite the opposite. Yet, through our platform and its community, she learnt the best way to showcase her talents and experience and has found a rewarding career.     To find out more about our community, sign up to our blog and become a member of our Facebook Group.
