Somewhere, some rights-holder — in this case, Kultur Video — decided it was better for the world that no one see the interview online than that people see it and no one profit from it. This, right here, is the deepest, saddest brokenness of current thinking on intellectual “property” as a wealth of humanity’s greatest intellectual and creative treasures rot in the clenched talons of rights-holders unable to monetize their properties and unwilling to make them available for free. As long as we continue to place commercial profit above cultural profit, especially when it comes to archival materials and cultural preservation, we are doomed to a future bitterly divorced from its past.

#Distillation, a technique used to improve #AImodels, has become a contentious issue: While some argue it enables #innovation and #efficiency, others, including U.S. officials, are concerned it allows Chinese companies to rapidly develop competitive AI models by leveraging American #intellectualproperty. This has led to a debate about whether distillation constitutes #IPtheft and how to balance innovation with #nationalsecurity concerns. https://www.cnbc.com/2026/07/25/hat-is-distillation-and-why-is-everyone-so-obsessed-with-it-this-week.html?eicker.news #tech #media #news

Practical Intellectual Property Management for Small Business Federal Government Contractors
“SMALLTOFEDS” By Ken Larson
“Intellectual property and proprietary data protection should be tailored to your organization, its industry relationships, people and practices. It must grow as the company grows, adapt to changing conditions and be ever-sensitive to risk.“
_______________________________________________________________________________________________________
DEFINITIONS
The World Intellectual Property Organization defines IP as:
“….creations of the mind: inventions, literary and artistic works, and symbols, names, images, and designs used in commerce.
Industrial property, which includes inventions (patents), trademarks, industrial designs, and geographic indications of source; and Copyright, which includes literary and artistic works such as novels, poems and plays, films, musical works, artistic works such as drawings, paintings, photographs and sculptures, and architectural designs. Rights related to copyright include those of performing artists in their performances, producers of phonograms in their recordings, and those of broadcasters in their radio and television programs.” https://www.wipo.int/about-ip/en/OWNERSHIP ENCOUNTERS AND CONTROLS
Bringing IP into existence requires that the tangible property as a result come under control. For small business this is usually brought about by a series of encounters with IP. They are discussed below in the relative order in which a small business encounters them.Company Founding Personnel
A small business usually encounters IP and PD concerns when it is formed. The operating agreement between the founders must address these matters from the perspective of who brings property to the venture and who owns it as well as the rights to the property developed thereafter. A typical operating agreement may be downloaded from the Box Net “References” cube in the right margin of this site. Please examine it as a framework and add those elements that are unique to your enterprise.
Employees and Contractors
The next encounter usually entails employees or contractors who apply for work. It is wise to inquire as a standard practice, and as part of an employment agreement or contract, whether or not an individual has signed a non-compete or proprietary data agreement with prior employers. If they have, acquire a copy of the agreement and assess whether or not the employment of these personnel poses a risk of IP violations in terms of another company’s property or their claim to ownership of what the candidate may develop on your behalf while in your employ.
Make it clear in your agreements of hire and contracts that IP and PD that employees may participate in developing are the exclusive property of the company, that they will not own it and that they are expected to protect it, even when they leave your firm.
Industry Partners
Declare in your non-disclosure, teaming, and contract agreements the precise definition of the IP and PD ownership brought to the table and the exact share of ownership in subsequent development items. Most firms use the efforts of their employees (labor records) as a basis to make these distinctions, but further specificity may be necessary on complex projects.Government Agencies and Prime Contractors
Ensure your policies and practices utilize assertions to document the ownership of IP and sound job cost accounting records for any IP developed at company expense, either in the past or during the course of contract performance. The following are the major rights assertions. They are discussed in detail at the link concluding this post.
・ Unlimited Rights・ Government Purpose Rights (GPR)
・ Limited Rights
・ Restricted Rights
・ Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Data Rights
・ Specifically Negotiated License Rights
・ Prior Government Rights
・ Commercial License Rights
CONCLUSION
Intellectual property and proprietary data protection should be tailored to your organization, its industry relationships, people and practices. It must grow as the company grows, adapt to changing conditions and be ever-sensitive to risk.
The best intellectual property protections are well understood, practical, teaming relationships among partners, employees, industry and government. All sides in such relationships lose if disclosure or violations occur.
Establish sound operations practices and train to insure these practices meet the objectives discussed herein to protect your organization IP.Practical Intellectual Property Management for Small Business Federal Government Contractors

@davidgewirtz Please keep in mind that you're adding all titles to Amazon's data collection. Whatever you upload to the #Amazon cloud AND also what you put on your Kindle is being indexed & uploaded to the server automatically.

Serious question.
What is a no-cost resource for #counsel #advisory about how to secure one's #intellectualproperty rights in the context of forthcoming release.
Oh. Is that what they mean by software patents? #softwarepatents
I don't know that software patent is relevant.

In 2011, Arıkan started his own small company and took polar codes to Qualcomm and Seagate to see if they had interest in implementing the idea.
“I did prepare some slides and sent them, but none of the US companies were really interested in it,” he says.
He takes the blame for failing to ignite their interest. “I was an academic who did not know how to promote an idea. Perhaps I did not believe in the idea that strongly myself.”
Later, those companies did work on polar codes and got their own patents, but without the same vigor as Huawei.
“If it weren't for the persistent efforts of Huawei researchers,” Arıkan says, “polar codes would not be in 5G today.”
I asked him about the over-the-top Huawei ceremony immortalized in that YouTube video.
He told me that he'd received the invitation to visit in June 2018.
“I said, ‘What is the occasion?’
And they said, ‘Mr. Ren wants to give you an award,’” Arıkan recalls.“I figured that Huawei is very happy because the standard has been made, and polar coding is definitely in it.”
He thought he would show up and there would be a pleasant conversation with the founder and some engineers. He might leave with a plaque.
Arıkan arrived in Shenzhen and stayed at a guest house on campus.
He had tea with Ren and was toasted by executives, including Wen Tong.
But he sensed that something bigger was afoot.“They revealed the program to me one step at a time. I didn't know how big that room would be, what kind of building we would go into. They didn't tell me to dress nicely.” (He did anyway.)
An hour before the ceremony his hosts informed him that perhaps he should prepare a speech.
He hurriedly finished his remarks in the town car on the way to the ceremony.“I have spent the last 30 years at Bilkent University doing research on a variety of problems that culminated in polar codes,” he told the crowd in his halting English.
“Today our roads cross on a happy occasion.”
The spectacle didn't go to Arıkan's head. “They were not honoring me,” he told me as we sat in his office.
“Huawei was saying, ‘We didn't steal this idea from anybody, and here is the originator of the idea.’
There is no question that Huawei is the most technologically sophisticated company in China.
Maybe for the first time in a thousand years, China is showing they are competing head to head with the rest of the world in technology.
The US could live with intellectual property theft, but it is much harder to live with being in competition with an equal power.
“Polar codes itself is not what's important,” he continued. “It is a symbol.
5G is totally different than the internet. It's like a global nervous system.
Huawei is the leading company in 5G. They will be around in 10, 20, 50 years
—you cannot say that about the US tech companies.In the internet era, the US produced a few trillion-dollar companies.
Because of 5G, China will have 10 or more trillion-dollar companies.
Huawei and China now have the lead.”
US companies and the US government can no longer expect to beat China back with threats or indictments, even if they are sometimes warranted.
And it's not just telecom companies like Huawei.
For all the furor at the highest levels over whether the teen-oriented social app TikTok presented security issues, the real threat to American business was that its Chinese engineers had devised an AI-powered recommendation engine that Silicon Valley had not matched.
Arıkan says the experience has led him to respect Huawei
—and to provide a warning to the country where he learned information theory.“I owe a lot to the US,” he says.
“I give you friendly advice:
You have to accept this as the new reality and deal with it accordingly.”To paraphrase Shannon:
No one knows the future. But Huawei and China now have a hand in controlling it.-- excerpts from:
https://www.wired.com/story/huawei-5g-polar-codes-data-breakthrough/by Steven Levy, editor at large at Wired.
Steven has written seven books, including Hackers, Crypto, Artificial Life, Insanely Great (a history of the Macintosh), and, most recently, In the Plex, the definitive story of Google. He attended Temple University and has a master’s degree in literature from Penn State.
