How are Intellectual Property Rights managed?
A One Billion Minds Challenge involves substantial IP transactions. We help protect the Client’s Intellectual Property in three ways: Methodology and Process: We take care to break down each Client Problem into manageable chunks with respect to IP before posting a challenge. Every step of the challenge process is fully customizable to take care of the client’s specific IP protection needs. Contractual Methods: The best way to manage IP transactions indeed remain the contract. Each member contracts with One Billion Minds to transfer IP rights on the solution on completion of the Challenge. Technology: We employ server based security policies and robust information rights management to control access to challenge information. Our geography and IP address management as well as a secure Challenge Room ensures that challenge information is always safe.
