Thanks for this great, timely and topical conversation, Lewis, Laurie and Dan! As I understand it, historically patents referred to physical inventions, and copyright was for intellectual property (is this correct?), but that this is changing with software and in the information technology revolution; as artificial intelligence develops, is there a distinction emerging between AI intellectual (IP), and software (eg pre LIDAR stacks) IP or intellectual property (and possibly re copyright)? Thank you, Scott (sgkmacleod@worlduniversityandschool.org)

Dear Lewis, and Laurie,
How best can law faculty in all ~200 countries and in their official & main languages teach about this, as well as inform, coding for "IP Assets for Today’s Enterprises" with developing artificial intelligence, and similar, used by businesses in same? (I ask in developing online Law Schools in all ~200 countries' official languages at CC-4 MIT OpenCourseWare-centric World University & School, (& see the beginning 8 other law schools here - https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/World_University_Law_School).
And, Lewis, in your role on the SF Federal Reserve, and regarding World Univ & Sch's plans to explore distributing via UBI experiments, in all ~200 countries' and in all 7,117 living languages (and to alleviate poverty), a single cryptocurrency backed by most of ~200 countries' central banks (think a digital Euro in 19 out of 28 nation states, or the international dollar in most countries become digital), to all 7.8 billion people, each a Wikidata Q-item # or similar, what role might IP play here if any ? (See too MIT DCI director Neha Narula's Tweet about the Boston Fed here - https://twitter.com/neha/status/1294420586089910272?s=20 and https://worlduniversityandschool.blogspot.com/2020/08/minutes-for-sat-aug-15-2020-world.html).

Add to Calendar Add to Google Calendar Add to Yahoo Calendar Description: With nearly 85% of the value of the S&P 500 (over $21 Trillion) represented by intangible assets, intellectual property (IP) assets have emerged as critical for today’s enterprises in our global innovation-driven economy. Couple this with the current environment of unprecedented disruption where companies are grappling with evolving business models and how best to create enterprise value, IP assets are increasingly more critical for enterprise value creation, access to capital, de-risking supply chains, and protecting a re-imagined post-crisis future. Unfortunately, IP assets have historically been undervalued, under-protected, and under-appreciated as a source of significant value to companies of all sizes, at all stages and in all industries. Boards are now taking a fresh look at how best to build and leverage IP assets in their businesses. This panel will provide new insights on how best to integrate IP strategy into board and executive level discussions.

Scott MacLeod <sgkmacleod@worlduniversityandschool.org>



Thanks too for your response, Matthew, on Friday. As you may know, World Univ & Sch is seeking to create 2.2 million academic careers, and jobs too in WUaS educational services' stores + (see the '15 planned WUaS revenue streams - both wings - 2020' - https://worlduniversityandschool.blogspot.com/2020/04/15-planned-wuas-revenue-streams-both.html in these regards, especially).
World University and School has also updated our home page - worlduniversityandschool.org - now with 29 majors or 'programs' (the last word in the points of your email, and which word Dianne Arechiga in Sacramento, CA, Dianne.Arechiga@dca.ca.gov, used in the CA BPPE licensing workshop in February 2019 she facilitated, which I attended in San Jose, CA), and which California BPPE licensing process may be developing for IT as online educational courseware develops too. Thanks to Larry for sharing the most recent update to the WUaS home page with these 29 programs or majors - worlduniversityandschool.org - and much more about becoming a matriculated student at WUaS for free-to-students' best STEAM CC-4 OpenCourseWare-centric Bachelor degrees. How could WUAS BPPE licensing and WASC senior accrediting work from your perspective, Matthew, and based in Sacramento, CA, as you now are?
I have some further questions in response to your replies, to the idea of verified courses, in contrast to "Verified Certificates (VC)," and how this would work at World Univ & Sch in January 2021:
1Verified courses Would WUaS matriculated students be able to enroll in any of these 3000+ courses, and take single verified courses from different universities (so not VCs)?
2Grading assessmentsIf so, and regarding WUaS students taking edX verified courses, in WUaS's now 29 WUaS majors, from a number of different universities at edX, how would WUaS get these grading assessments, when the single course from a variety of different universities is over, and if there were only 1 or 2 WUaS students taking the edX MOOC, for example, and if the overall number of students in an university's MOOC was tiny too? (Will any given university be grading even tiny MOOCs of theirs?)
3Adding content WUaS will look into the LMS (Learning Management System) of Google Suite for Education since we're in GSuite for Education, and possibly with a WUaS Open edX service partner (which starter kit WUaS tried with MOOCit France) approach too. If WUaS developed courses of our own in GSuite, might a native edX integration with Google be forthcoming too? (And WUaS is seeking to build out in GSuite for Education our student matriculation and application process, and in planning for wiki learners in each of all ~200 countries and wiki Universitians in all 7,117 known living languages, - and then brainstorming-wise for all 7.8 billion people on the planet, as wiki teachers and learners - each a Wikidata Q item # or related Wikidata PIN #)
4Partnership (re edX Online Campus?)So if WUaSs' matriculating students can take single edX courses per your edX partnership for WUaS, meaning "access to courses + services like integration, curation, etc for WUaS to offer programs" how would, in this integration, and per our recent home page update, WUaS students develop their majors, or programs, and hypothetically taking something similar to 40 CC-4 MIT OCW > MITx WUaS edX courses over 4 years - in interfacing with edX integration (so WUaS retains our students)? And how would these edX courses be licensed with CA's BPPE and accredited with WASC senior, both CA institutions or agencies, using the edX platform as the standard?
(And is there a way that WUaS's students could focus on, eventually, taking mostly HarvardX and MITx courses in our WUaS partnership with edX - for consistency of course material, for quality, and for outreach, etc? And are there, or could there be, enough edX verified courses eventually for our new 29 majors to study regarding grades from even mostly HarvardX and MITx (since edX was founded by Harvard and MIT), and in contrast to other universities' edX courses?)
And can WUaS Tweet, for example, that WUaS is partnering with edX, and similar?
Marisol and Carolina ... and Spanish language WUaS, and with edX verified courses in Spanish too ...
Thanks so much to Marisol for calling in last Monday to WUaS's Monday News, and Q&A on the Google Meet video conferencing platform, which makes it possible for people to call in on their phones too. Last week WUaS team member Stanford Quechua instructor Marisol Necochea - https://language.stanford.edu/people/marisol-necochea - called in, and after talking she said she'd email edX's Carolina McGarity, whose first language is Spanish (& is a Middlebury alum, with whom I video conferenced 12-19 days ago, with you, Matthew) about Spanish World Univ & Sch - https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/Spanish_language (and potentially in the 20 of 200 countries' WUaS online Universities with Spanish as an official language)- and it seems as if Marisol (who is originally from Peru) would bring Stanford in on the organizing of Spanish language World University and School, in partnering with edX verified courses too !!! (Thanks to Alphabet chairman and former Stanford President John Hennessy too? C'est possible, since edX CEO & MIT Prof of EECS Anant Agarwal was his doctoral student at Stanford). Am glad Marisol called in and am glad Stanford may be coming on board and in WUAS partnering with edX :).
WUaS continues to seek 50-400 students to matriculate online in English in January 2021, provided WUaS is able to set up the IT (we still haven't found a professional admin for our G Suite for Education), and develop relationships with state offices in all ~200 countries for reimbursement to WUaS (so we can then pay edX).
Thank you, Matthew, and looking forward to your responses and next developments in WUaS partnering with edX!
Best regards, Scott

Hello Scott,
Thank you for your email and your questions.Verified Courses: All 3,000+ edX courses have the option for "Verified Certificates (VC)." This means that if a student pays the course fee they have access to graded assessments + certification from the university where the course is taken. This is compared to the "Audit Track" where students can watch videos at no cost. Grading: Each course/university sets its own level for the necessary requirement to earn a VC. This can be 65% to 80% graded required. Certifications are pass/fail but our admin dashboard provides access to see performance and grade percentage. Adding Content: For our instances of Open edX (edx.org), we have specific guidelines and costs for partners to contribute content to be featured on our website. For a student to see edX.org courses and WUaS courses, we recommend learners discover content on a private LMS platform like Google or Moodle. We have native integrations with Moodle, Canvas, and we will soon be offering Blackboard as examples. Partnership: Partnering with edX Online Campus means providing access to courses + services like integration, curation, etc for WUaS to offer programs. Thank you again for your questions and I hope this information is helpful.
Best regards,
Matthew

Thanks for your email, and for your auto-respond when I sent out the WUaS Minutes on Wednesday or so. I hope this email finds you well too.
A few questions, and as WUaS seeks to expand our majors' list (and potentially with courses involving assessment of students in terms of what they've learned or come to know as a consequence of taking a single course), and which Larry is working on primarily:
How many of the 3000 + edX courses, or 2000+ edX courses now available, are verified? And what does verified mean beyond - https://support.edx.org/hc/en-us/articles/360013426573-What-are-the-differences-between-audit-free-and-verified-paid-courses- (ie graded assessments ) ? Does the edX verified course system itself give the grade - and in what ways is the faculty member who created this course, or an assistant, involved in giving the grade? So, in what ways do verified courses each as a system give out grades? In courses that involve writing too, how would edX verified courses assess the writing by students (a 10 page paper even?)? And are all 205 (the number I had counted fairly recently) CC-4 MIT OCW > MITx courses 'verified courses'? WUaS's CC-4 MIT OCW-centricity is one of the significant ways that WUaS is going to communicate with governments' departments of education in all ~200 countries - probably via WUAS G Suite for Education - that WUaS has to be free-to-students in their countries - i.e. due to this Creative Commons'4 licensing "non-commercial" attribute.
And in what ways too could WUaS best add our own courses to these potential 31 majors? Just checking out this - https://www.edx.org/subjects - further and re the list of 31 subjects, 'Social Sciences' - https://www.edx.org/course/subject/social-sciences - in which no Anthropology courses are listed, for example, but there are currently a few Anthropology courses listed here - https://www.edx.org/learn/anthropology .Am curious how WUaS might add courses & majors further by adapting MIT OCW > WUaS Open edX for example, with these - https://ocw.mit.edu/courses/#anthropology. Am wondering also in these regards how to think about WUaS majors and in planning for the other 200 countries with courses in English ( e.g. some countries might not want what they consider 'politically oriented' courses, for example), whereas in their official main languages WUaS can take a different approach to majors. That said, WUaS is going to seek to study rigorously and compare how students learn across languages and cultures, potentially with MIT OCW - https://ocw.mit.edu/ - in its 4 languages, as a basis for translating courses.
Am wondering too as a test case how to add my "Network Society and Information Technology" course - http://worlduniversityandschool.org/InfoTechNetworkSocGlobalUniv.html - to this?
And what does partnering with edX Virtual Campus mean beyond what stated on the page? Might there be any way to dovetail this with WUaS plans to develop a single realistic virtual earth for STEAM or virtual Lego Robotics - https://twitter.com/search?q=%23RealisticVirtualEarthForRobotics&src=typeahead_click (eg see too RealisticVirtualEarth) - as campus, and academic field sites, and in thinking in terms of Google Street View with time slider, Maps, Earth, TensorFlow etc.
Thank you so much, Matthew.
Best regards, Scott
PSAs you may have seen in the WUaS Minutes, WUaS is seeking a profession G Suite Admin or similar:

Matthew,
And as I emailed Larry when he sent the draft of the new 29 majors
"What are your thoughts about the variable lengths of edX verified courses, and the credit system you have in mind?"
Sincerely, Scott
Thoughts with regards to your knowledge of edX courses of different lengths, and possible accreditation, and grading assessments from different universities?
Thank you,Scott

Dick Robb
Dear Dick,Thanks so much for your email reply last Thursday (and below). In reading your erudite "Out of Africa" chapter on our origins genetially in "Brookline Thursday Club Essays: 1995-2016" this morning, I laughed when I read on p 58-59: "But on the whole genes are very Republican. They are stable and do not like change. Mutations are rare" ... and regarding our unstable rep. President? He could conceivably be voted out of office tomorrow. And could this recent "Biden is steady" article in the Boston Globe - https://www.bostonglobe.com/2020/10/31/nation/biding-his-time-waiting-moment-come-him/ (read in Tor browser) - have even been a response to your talk in the Brookline Thursday Club? :) And did these lines get a good laugh when you read your paper in Brookline (which I'm thinking may be a Democratic base)?
Am appreciating your genetics' focus in "Brookline Thursday Club Essays" much, as I continue to seek to begin a family :)
Maybe tRump's coattails will be very very long re Senate battleground state (albeit he seems so ready to roll up his sleeves, sans any coat whatsoever)

Ma,Thanks for mentioning there was a blue moon last night ...
Went out on Halloween, didn't see it, went out this morning just before 7 (daylight savings' time) and it didn't look blue ... Looked it up ...
What is a blue moon?
A blue moon is an additional full moon that appears in a subdivision of a year: either the third of four full moons in a season, or a second full moon in a month of the common calendar
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blue_moon(Why is it called a blue moon?...)
Answer. “Once in a blue moon” is a common expression that has been used for a long time, and which means 'not very often,' or 'very rarely.' It often refers to an extra full moon; however, it has been used to describe the way the moon actually looked, when for different reasons it had turned a blueish color.Library of Congress (.gov) › itemWhat is a blue moon? Is the moon ever really blue? | https://www.loc.gov/everyday-mysteries/astronomy/item/what-is-a-blue-moon-is-it-ever-really-blue/
SEE video - The 1883 Krakatau eruption: a year of blue Moons
https://www.nhm.ac.uk/discover/the-1883-krakatau-eruption-a-year-of-blue-moons.html
Nice cheesy moony poem, no mention of blue ... The Cheese Moonhttps://fizzyfunnyfuzzy.com/poem/the_cheese_moon
Love, Scott
Shared this with Navin yesterday evening ...
My mother just emailed that it's a blue moon tonight (in western Pennsylvania) and is very beautiful. I just looked and can't see the moon currently, but stay tuned over the course of the night from your beautiful porch with Nataraj dancing in the ring of fire standing on the dwarf of ignorance (4 ft high circular sculpture) in case you head out there for some fresh air ... 'Once in a blue moon'... blue moons are a treat! :)
PSNo dew on the wood table top, the wood veneer 5 foot book shelves, or presumably the wood veneer file cabinet on its side :)

Peter (Bothe),
Der Revolutionär im Auftrag ihrer Majestät
Sean Connery wäre beinahe Fußballprofi geworden. Zum Glück entschied er sich anders. Er war nicht nur der beste Bond aller Zeiten – er schuf diese Figur erst. Und später befreite er sich mit gnadenlosem Killerinstinkt von diesem Image. Ein Deutscher half ihm dabei.

Hi Roland and Jason,
Thank you Jason, for your second recent presentation at CodeX yesterday. Your great Blawx coding work - Blawx.com – Drag and Drop Legal AI | https://www.blawx.com/ - in Google's Blockly language (and which is based on the Scratch language) is inspiring. Since Scratch works with the 3 Lego Robotics' kits, could one eventually create Lego Robotics' lawyers that even talk with Google's approach to NLP & Google Translate, brainstorming-wise?
My questions from yesterday in text:
Thank you, Jason! In what new ways could you see developing a course for undergraduate law students on Blawx coding in the edX platform? Where do you see Blawx heading, and beyond for Canada and Singapore too? Thanks, Scott (sgkmacleod@worlduniversityandschool.org)
Thank you, and Blawx so great, Jason! (am glad the Scratch programming language works with Lego Robotics - could there be interoperability?)
Here are the AI and Law + wiki subjects at WUaS (with eventual courses for credit in many languages) -
https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool...
https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool...
https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool...
(https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool...)
Now how might learners coding with Blawx, Blockly, Scratch, and Lego Robotics even begin to play with coding with Blockchain for learning?
Thank you, Jason!
Best regards, ScottPSAs I announced in the beginning of CodeX yesterday, CC-4 MIT OCW-centric World Univ & Sch is now partnering with edX, and has recently increased our online undergraduate majors from 6 to 29, and one of them is law; see: https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/20... and soon here - http://worlduniversityandschool.org/.
PPSThe WUaS Educational Services' Store is officially carrying the 3 Lego Robotics's kit, but only available to learners in the USA - http://worlduniversityandschool.org/A... .
PPPSHere's a related blog post with this email in it (soon) - https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/20... (and last years' email too).
Jiarui, John, Jason and Roland,
Thanks so much for your timely and topical Blockchain Copyright Exchange presentation, and nice to meet and talk with you afterward, Jairui. (Am addressing this email mostly to Jiarui, but with items of possible interest to all of you). And thanks to all of you for your great presentations - https://law.stanford.edu/2019/02/27/codex-meeting-2-28/.
Brainstorming-wise, I'm curious how you'd envision suggesting using BCE for Brìghde Chaimbeul's debut CD "The Reeling" on a C Scottish small pipes' chanter which she just pout on Spotify - https://open.spotify.com/search/songs/Chaimbeul%20The%20Reeling - with potentially a quite small group of target listeners, for example? She's from the Isle of Skye in the north of Scotland, which is a small country in its own right. And brainstorming-wise further, here's a Scottish small piping CD album I'm planning to make - https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2019/02/gobies-scott-macleods-honey-in-bag-cd.html (with links to Brìghde's work too). And I'm planning to begin with recording to Youtube. Perhaps this would all be helpful to you in your further developing BCE, conceptually and strategy-wise.
And do you know Dr. Robert Chang MD, a professor of ophthalmology at Stanford Medicine who just gave a talk about Blockchain ledger for healthcare. You'll find resources about his talk here - https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2019/02/giant-panda-stanford-cdh-workshop.html - as well as a characterization of Blockchain ledger - https://twitter.com/ValaAfshar/status/957308334154985472 - that I've found helpful and that I think complements yours. You'll also find resources in this blog entry some resources about World University and School's planned online medical schools with teaching hospitals in all ~200 countries' official and main languages - and WUaS is planning online Law schools too in all ~200 countries' languages. Chinese, Spanish and English are WUaS's pilot languages (but WUaS is planning to be in all 7,097 living languages with machine translation). You'll also find in this blog post a day long MIT conference on Robotic Systems with Blockchain that's fascinating, but doesn't touch on the entertainment industry.
I"m posting below some beginning universities and law schools and related World University and School wiki pages. WUaS is like Wikipedia in 300 languages with CC-4 MIT OCW in 5 languages, and plans to offer online degrees in ~200 countries' main / official languages - Law, Medicine, Ph.D., Bachelor, and I.B. high school - and WUaS just attended our first day-long workshop with the state of California's BPPE last Wednesday (a milestone long in coming:). (See, too - https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/WUaS_Universal_Translator < https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/Subjects).
Let's stay in touch about all of this.
Thank you again for your great presentations.
Best regards, Scott

Thoughts? How are you today?
Love, Scott
Recent email to David and Heather, and I'm not sure what the apostrophe means in the middle of his " we'll " :
Thanks, David,

ScottAnd re the church word, and your occasional Unitarian signature, did you grow up in an UU church in part? Here are some related recent Tweets:

Thanks for your email, and cheers, David and Heather!
If I ever find my way back to living at 670 Ridgecrest Road in Canyon 94516, please come and visit, David (I know Heather has a couple of times, but without you!)

Greetings from a new 'safe house' just north of Berkeley, with amazing views of the SF Bay, the Golden Gate Bridge to the west, the new mast and rigging architecture of the Bay Bridge to the south, as well as views to the north of the Richmond bridge.

Just shared the following with Reed College friend Byron (from the early 1980s), and his wife Cindy, in these regards:
Byron and Cindy,
Thank you, Cindy, for your encouragement to call the Moraga police the first time I had evidence there was an illegal break in, and make an official report. As a whistleblower, I'm moving out of Canyon for the time being, and would like to return your helpful bookshelf, Byron, to you if you want it back (for Tahoe? etc). I'm hoping to move some of my other furniture to my new place north of Berkeley, and would gladly return it to you / your driveway if this sounds good to you. I'll plan to drop it off this week, unless you suggest something else.
Thank you so much,
Scott
(After at least 3 illegal Canyon break-ins, entries (over the summer), thefts and over years, reported officially to the Moraga police, and hypothetically homicidal, psychopathological, paraphilic, and kleptomaniac of mentally ill former landlord, there's a possibility CA legal action COULD MOVE THEM OUT to protect the innocent even ... ) ...Could I come into that place for a song? Stay tuned.
