Protecting researchers’ intellectual property
The design mission
Give a tool to researchers / innovators to preserve their intellectual property, while protecting their practice and work conditions (mails, teaching, publications, cloud diffusion…). PhD field, 2013 to 2019
Doctoral project, 2013 à 2019, as a PhD student, I designed features for the running app in UTT.
The aim was to guide users in a complex situation. Compiling needs, constraints and technical complexity, to get intuitive interfaces.
Protect the Intellectual/ Industrial Property
– Some interfaces of the software Lex4Lab, running in UTT since 2013.
As a researcher or innovator, intellectual property (IP) protection is an important topic. However, in reality, they have not so many tools to do so, apart from writing a patent, which comes rather late in the process of innovation.
Lex4Lab, a complete electronic laboratory notebook, offers a solution to protect IP from the start of the development of an innovation.
The software is designed based on several scenarios of IP disputes, and on interviews with researchers/innovators in real situations.
– Extract from a scenario according to the use cases
Design process
The design process in which I was involved consists of iterations over several years throughout the research process for my doctoral thesis, as well as the stages of the project in research and development.
