Methodology: Access to Music through the Mobile: by Maggie Huang — published Nov 18, 2014 — last modified Dec 08, 2014 04:22 PM — filed under: Access to Knowledge, Pervasive Technologies
Like its predecessors the vinyl, the cassette tape, the CD, and the MP3 player, the mobile phone as the most recent musical carrier have been well documented to be a disruptive technology, one which has made earlier carrier technologies virtually obsolete. The mobile phone has transformed the music industry and its supporting infrastructure — dramatically altering the roles of various intermediaries and stakeholders who enable the creation, distribution, and consumption of musical content.

Intellectual Property in Mobile Application Development in India: by Anubha Sinha — published Nov 17, 2014 — last modified Aug 31, 2015 02:33 PM — filed under: Access to Knowledge, Pervasive Technologies
A steady rise in smart phone penetration in India has led to a corresponding growth of the mobile application development industry. Mobile application development like all technological implementations is subject to intellectual property issues. However, very little is understood about the effect of existing patent and copyright law on this niche industry. I aim to develop an understanding of the mobile applications industry, and how it is governed by current Indian patent and copyright regime. I will also use this research to inform the optimal ways in which policymakers may ensure the continual emergence of the mobile applications industry. This blog post lays down a document delineating the research methodology and research questions within the Intellectual Property in Mobile Application Development in India chapter under the Pervasive Technologies Project. The document is a work in progress.

Methodology: Patent Landscaping in the Indian Mobile Device Market: by Rohini Lakshané — published Nov 10, 2014 — last modified Feb 15, 2017 02:05 PM — filed under: Access to Knowledge, Pervasive Technologies
Through the patent landscaping exercise, we have identified patents pertaining to Internet-enabled mobile devices sold in India for USD 100 or less. The findings from this exercise are being used to develop legal strategies to reduce patent-based impediments to the widespread and rapid proliferation of this beneficial technology throughout India. The research methodology adopted for the patent landscaping exercise has been delineated here. This document is a work in progress.

Changing Usage Models: Desktops to Ubiquitous Cloud-Based Mobile Computing (Interviews with Semiconductor Industry - Part 1): by Maggie Huang — published Sep 26, 2014 — last modified Dec 26, 2014 12:08 PM — filed under: Access to Knowledge, Pervasive Technologies
This is the first of a four-part blog series highlighting findings from a small sample of interviews with fabless semiconductor industry professionals in Taiwan. These industry insiders was approached for the intent of understanding expert knowledge on the process of integrated circuit design. However, the conversations resulted in leanings far beyond that scope. This post explores the trends of personal computing technology, which provides the pretext for the narrowing of the Pervasive Technologies project scope to a focus on the mobile phone.

Patent Valuation and License Fee Determination in Context of Patent Pools: by Vikrant Narayan Vasudeva — published Jul 09, 2014 — filed under: Featured, Patents, Access to Knowledge, Pervasive Technologies
The focus of this research paper is on an extremely limited though important aspect of patent pools — that of patent valuation and license fee determination. It is important to bear in mind that the concept of patent valuation and license fee determination as it exists independently is modified when it is applied in context of patent pools.
