Abstract:

The makers represent a new way of manufacturing production. The development of the makers is of great significance for the transformation and upgrading of manufacturing. The study of the intellectual property protection can assist the makers to clarify the right issues and maintain the energy of innovation in different phases. We analyzes the intellectual property problems in three phases including the idea generating phase, the transition phase and the marketization phase. We investigate the solutions to the problems in different phases in America. Based on three perspectives such as government, makerspace and maker, we offer some suggestions for the intellectual property protection of the makers in China. The suggestions for the intellectual property protection of the makers in different phases: the idea generating phase(reform the dichotomy of ideas and expression, formulate a resource usage agreement, accumulate the original evidence), the commoditization phase(set up the provisional patent application system and strike the patent trolls, sign a contract for the completed achievement, do the patent strategy planning), the commercialization phase(clarify the ownership of the patent right and profit sharing arrangement, emphasize collaborative innovation, obtain the exclusive business interests of excellent patent achievements).
