Intellectual Property Group Presentation (Feedback)

Some feedback on the Intellectual Property presentations:

Intellectual Property Suprematist Architecture group presentation (Alyssa & Vedran)
The presentation was very good overall. They utilised a software called Pow Toon to generate an easy to understand yet very eye catching animation. The presentation was laid out in logical manner and explained the details of intellectual property in easy to understand language with relation to their project.

The powerpoint presentation itself wasn't as clean or engaging however. There was a copious amount of text used throughout the power point with little colour and a scarce amount of images however the layout was good. Both Alyssa and Vedran relied heavily on a script however the content they recited was not the same as the text on the screen which was good.

The presentation copied topics including copyright, patents, trademarks and process including how to apply for them, however this was not discussed at depth. The group also explained how intellectual property related back to their own project which was good to see.

Intellectual Property Gothic Architecture group presentation (Alan, Dorothy, David, Ricky, Stefan)
An animation was used for the presentation which involved a representation of what occurs when you don't protect your own ideas. The video itself was very good and simple, but incredibly informative and straight to the point.

This presentation explained roughly the same topics and content as the first, however a few topics were touched on with more depth along with extra examples which helps viewers relate to IP more easily. An example used was how KFC protects its 'secret' original recipe.

This presentation also explained how to apply for trademarks and patents and how much it would cost and how long it would take. They also explained what to do when someone infringes on your IP and how to go about proving it.


Overall both presentations covered roughly the same topics. The main takeaway topics from both presentations involve the importance of protecting your own work, and how easy it is for anyone to quickly assume and copyright your own hard work against you. The process for applying for copyrights was an eye opener and is something that I will definitely be considering during future projects.
