Intellectual Property Protection

Posted in Project Blue Ocean Phoenix by Joe Keiser on the October 30th, 2006

We can finally announce that Intellectual Property protection has fallen into place for all of our websites under development, including Project Blue Ocean Phoenix. With the devlopement process being so dynamic, we needed a flexible protection tool which would cover the newest properties immediately. In this way we can show you sooner what has been developed by the team without risk of losing it. You will note a small logo with a CC in it on the right side of the page. If you click on that logo, you will find that the IP on the page cannot be copied for commercial purposes, nor can it be used for developing derivatives. This protects the development team from risk of having their work copied and used elsewhere.

In the past, we have also relied on the copyright protection afforded by certain websites, such as www.snapfish.com, to protect our artwork and other properties. This reliance will also continue into the future. (If you found www.snapfish.com helpful, or if you want to revisit our registered works there, the access codes given to you in June 2005 are still valid.)
Once the sites become stabilized, and mostly static, we will switch to a further copyright protection afforded to web-based materials, thus giving us a dual layer of protection.

And all logos and artwork are being registered as trademarks in the countries most relevant. But these will already be protected under the aforementioned IP protection schemes.
