GNSS patents and intellectual property rights

The European GNSS Agency (GSA), along with the e-KnoT project and in conjunction with project partner bavAIRia e.V. (the Bavarian Aerospace Cluster), recently held a two-day seminar providing engineers and scientists working in GNSS and the space sector with insights into the patent process and the scope and content of Intellectual Property Right (IPR) protection along the value chain.

Over the summer, the GSA-funded e-KnoT project, in conjunction with project partner bavAIRia e.V. (the Bavarian Aerospace Cluster), held a two-day seminar providing engineers and scientists working in GNSS and the space sector with insights into the patent process and the scope and content of Intellectual Property Right (IPR) protection along the value chain.

Topics included the different forms of IPR and how to best protect each of them, along with practical insight on IPR contractual provisions in EU and GSA grants and procurements, as well as in ESA projects.

The event was offered in cooperation with BHO Legal, Cologne and Munich, and supported by the European Patent Office (EPO) in Rijswijk and Munich. 

What is IPR?

According to the World Intellectual Property Organisation (WIPO), Intellectual Property (IP) refers to creations of the mind, such as inventions, literary and artistic works; designs; and symbols, names and images used in commerce. ‘By striking the right balance between the interests of innovators and the wider public interest, the IP system aims to foster an environment in which creativity and innovation can flourish’, says the WIPO.

IP is protected in law by, for example, patents, copyright and trademarks, which enable people to earn recognition or financial benefit from what they invent or create. A patent, perhaps the most common method for protecting IPR, is essentially a legal title granting the holder the right to prevent third parties from commercially using an invention without prior authorisation. In return for this protection, the holder is required to disclose the invention to the public. Typically patent protection is granted for a limited period of time (up to 20 years) and for a specified geographic area.

Within the world of GNSS, examples of IPR include the European Patent for the modulation signal for a satellite navigation system. It can also include technology and product design, such as a GNSS integrated antenna.

How do I protect my IPR?

On a European scale, IPR is managed by the European Patent Office. With limited exceptions, in order to receive a patent, the invention must be new, involve an inventive step and be industrially applicable. Typically, patent claims relate to a product, a process, an apparatus or a method. In order to file a patent in Europe, an inventor has three options:

  1. European route: applicant files a direct European application (i.e., first filing)
  2. National route: applicant files a national application first and, following that, a European application (i.e., second filing) within 12 month after filing the national application and claiming priority from said application.
  3. International route: applicant files a PCT application according to the international Patent Cooperation Treaty, and, following that, the applicant enters the European/ National phase (after 30/31 months after filing).

To file, the applicant begins by preparing a description of the invention, one or more claims and, when applicable, some graphs and drawings. The application could be filed online, by fax or post. Once received, the patent office first checks the document for compliance and, if compliant, assigns it a date of filing – which protects it against any similar patent being filed at the same time (i.e., the first to file gets the patent).

In case of option one, the EPO then conducts a search and examination procedure to ensure the invention has not already been patented in Europe. Based on this search, the patent office will issue a search report and preliminary opinion on patentability. Next, applications are examined by a panel of three expert examiners who check that the scope of protection is limited to what is actually patentable.

Help! My patent has been infringed!

Even with a patent, your IPR can still be violated. A patent infringement is defined as the commission of a prohibited act with regard to a patented invention without permission from the patent holder. However, it should be noted that infringement can only occur in countries where a patent is in force; a pending patent application is not sufficient for infringement.

To determine if a patent has been infringed, a specific test is used, requiring that the infringing party’s product or method falls within one or more of the (independent) claims of the patent. If, however, it is shown that the patent holder is not practicing the patented invention, that the infringing party is not performing on any infringing act in the territory covered by the patent, that the patent has expired or has otherwise become invalid, then no infringement will be found.

IPR and European GNSS

So how does this all apply to the development of GNSS technologies? First, it must be remembered that the legal framework for the European GNSS programme is set by the the European Union. The GNSS Regulation specifies that the Union shall be the owner of all tangible and intangible assets created or developed under the Galileo and EGNOS programmes. The Commission shall ensure the optimal use of these assets and an effective IPR management, taking into account the need to protect and give value to the Union's intellectual property rights, the interests of all stakeholders, and the necessity of harmonious development of the markets and of new technologies.

In practice, IPR management is implemented on the level of contracts, with dedicated and sometimes highly complex provisions. The applicability of certain IPR rules depends on whether a project receives a grant (complementary financing, subject to annual programming) or goes through public procurement (process where public authorities purchase work, goods or services).

As a general rule, the EU becomes the owner of all tangible and intangible assets developed or created under public contracts resulting from procurements. As to grants, however, the beneficiary, with exceptions, typically maintains the rights to IP. In this context, it is important to note that although the Commission and the GSA issue both grants and procurements, the ESA only issues procurements.

Where can I learn more?

Clearly, the area of IPR in the context of GNSS is highly complex. To learn more the national and the European Patent Offices offer helpdesks. In addition, especially around the main premises of these institutions, a wide community of specialised patent attorneys is ready to support you. Often regions like Bavaria have an interest to support filing of technology-related patents, so it is a good idea to look for the local aerospace cluster in your region and contact them.

Once received, the patent office first checks the document for compliance and, if compliant, assigns it a date of filing – which protects it against any similar patent being filed at the same time (i.e., the first to file gets the patent).

In case of option one, the EPO then conducts a search and examination procedure to ensure the invention has not already been patented in Europe. Based on this search, the patent office will issue a search report and preliminary opinion on patentability. Next, applications are examined by a panel of three expert examiners who check that the scope of protection is limited to what is actually patentable.

Help! My patent has been infringed!

Even with a patent, your IPR can still be violated. A patent infringement is defined as the commission of a prohibited act with regard to a patented invention without permission from the patent holder. However, it should be noted that infringement can only occur in countries where a patent is in force; a pending patent application is not sufficient for infringement.

To determine if a patent has been infringed, a specific test is used, requiring that the infringing party’s product or method falls within one or more of the (independent) claims of the patent. If, however, it is shown that the patent holder is not practicing the patented invention, that the infringing party is not performing on any infringing act in the territory covered by the patent, that the patent has expired or has otherwise become invalid, then no infringement will be found.

IPR and European GNSS

So how does this all apply to the development of GNSS technologies? First, it must be remembered that the legal framework for the European GNSS programme is set by the the European Union. The GNSS Regulation specifies that the Union shall be the owner of all tangible and intangible assets created or developed under the Galileo and EGNOS programmes. The Commission shall ensure the optimal use of these assets and an effective IPR management, taking into account the need to protect and give value to the Union's intellectual property rights, the interests of all stakeholders, and the necessity of harmonious development of the markets and of new technologies.

In practice, IPR management is implemented on the level of contracts, with dedicated and sometimes highly complex provisions. The applicability of certain IPR rules depends on whether a project receives a grant (complementary financing, subject to annual programming) or goes through public procurement (process where public authorities purchase work, goods or services).

As a general rule, the EU becomes the owner of all tangible and intangible assets developed or created under public contracts resulting from procurements. As to grants, however, the beneficiary, with exceptions, typically maintains the rights to IP. In this context, it is important to note that although the Commission and the GSA issue both grants and procurements, the ESA only issues procurements.

Where can I learn more?

Clearly, the area of IPR in the context of GNSS is highly complex. To learn more the national and the European Patent Offices offer helpdesks. In addition, especially around the main premises of these institutions, a wide community of specialised patent attorneys is ready to support you. Often regions like Bavaria have an interest to support filing of technology-related patents, so it is a good idea to look for the local aerospace cluster in your region and contact them.

GNSS patents and intellectual property rights

20.9.2016 14:32   European GNSS Agency  
Published:

The European GNSS Agency (GSA), along with the e-KnoT project and in conjunction with project partner bavAIRia e.V. (the Bavarian Aerospace Cluster), recently held a two-day seminar providing engineers and scientists working in GNSS and the space sector with insights into the patent process and the scope and content of Intellectual Property Right (IPR) protection along the value chain.

Over the summer, the GSA-funded e-KnoT project, in conjunction with project partner bavAIRia e.V. (the Bavarian Aerospace Cluster), held a two-day seminar providing engineers and scientists working in GNSS and the space sector with insights into the patent process and the scope and content of Intellectual Property Right (IPR) protection along the value chain.

Topics included the different forms of IPR and how to best protect each of them, along with practical insight on IPR contractual provisions in EU and GSA grants and procurements, as well as in ESA projects.

The event was offered in cooperation with BHO Legal, Cologne and Munich, and supported by the European Patent Office (EPO) in Rijswijk and Munich. 

What is IPR?

According to the World Intellectual Property Organisation (WIPO), Intellectual Property (IP) refers to creations of the mind, such as inventions, literary and artistic works; designs; and symbols, names and images used in commerce. ‘By striking the right balance between the interests of innovators and the wider public interest, the IP system aims to foster an environment in which creativity and innovation can flourish’, says the WIPO.

IP is protected in law by, for example, patents, copyright and trademarks, which enable people to earn recognition or financial benefit from what they invent or create. A patent, perhaps the most common method for protecting IPR, is essentially a legal title granting the holder the right to prevent third parties from commercially using an invention without prior authorisation. In return for this protection, the holder is required to disclose the invention to the public. Typically patent protection is granted for a limited period of time (up to 20 years) and for a specified geographic area.

Within the world of GNSS, examples of IPR include the European Patent for the modulation signal for a satellite navigation system. It can also include technology and product design, such as a GNSS integrated antenna.

How do I protect my IPR?

On a European scale, IPR is managed by the European Patent Office. With limited exceptions, in order to receive a patent, the invention must be new, involve an inventive step and be industrially applicable. Typically, patent claims relate to a product, a process, an apparatus or a method. In order to file a patent in Europe, an inventor has three options:

  1. European route: applicant files a direct European application (i.e., first filing)
  2. National route: applicant files a national application first and, following that, a European application (i.e., second filing) within 12 month after filing the national application and claiming priority from said application.
  3. International route: applicant files a PCT application according to the international Patent Cooperation Treaty, and, following that, the applicant enters the European/ National phase (after 30/31 months after filing).

To file, the applicant begins by preparing a description of the invention, one or more claims and, when applicable, some graphs and drawings. The application could be filed online, by fax or post. Once received, the patent office first checks the document for compliance and, if compliant, assigns it a date of filing – which protects it against any similar patent being filed at the same time (i.e., the first to file gets the patent).

In case of option one, the EPO then conducts a search and examination procedure to ensure the invention has not already been patented in Europe. Based on this search, the patent office will issue a search report and preliminary opinion on patentability. Next, applications are examined by a panel of three expert examiners who check that the scope of protection is limited to what is actually patentable.

Bentley’s <i>AssetWise InspectTech</i> Helps State DOTs and Agencies Achieve Compliance with FHWA MAP-21 Regulations

15.9.2016 23:44   Bentley Systems  

Delivers accurate element-level inspection data enabling data-driven decision making

EXTON, Pa., U.S.A. – Bentley Systems, Incorporated, a leading global provider of comprehensive software solutions for advancing infrastructure, today announced that all 15 state DOTs and agencies using AssetWise InspectTech achieved compliance with annual Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) MAP-21 National Bridge Inventory (NBI) and National Bridge Element (NBE) reporting requirements and successfully submitted reports on time. AssetWise InspectTech delivers accurate element-level inspection data required by MAP-21 enabling data-driven decision making. Faced with aging bridge infrastructure nationwide, FHWA’s MAP-21 performance-based program is designed to maximize return on investment in transportation infrastructure, ensure public safety and infrastructure reliability, and reduce project delivery delays.

Michael F. Premo, P.E., NDOT Structures Division - Bridge Inspection, said, “The ability of AssetWise InspectTech to support our Nevada-specific inspection needs and meet the FHWA, MAP-21, and NBI regulatory requirement deadlines is a testament to its flexibility. It allows our inspectors to accurately and efficiently collect, manage, and submit all required data including mobile data from the field in the required format. Using InspectTech our NBI submittal went smoothly again this year.”

AssetWise InspectTech provides performance metric reports and dashboards based on industry best practices for NBI and NBE submission, performs error checks and automated sufficiency rating calculations that prevent errors during the data collection process, and, through timely reporting, gives citizens peace of mind that states are fully ensuring their transportation safety. Its extensive configuration tools allow state agencies to tailor the application to meet their respective needs while still supporting all required federal reports.

Taylor Gilmore, product manager, AssetWise InspectTech, said, “The element-level inspection enabled by AssetWise InspectTech increases the granularity of the analytical capabilities for the inspection and evaluation of bridges – better predicting their performance, enhancing public safety, and advancing the timely delivery of bridge maintenance and repair projects. AssetWise InspectTech was used to inspect over 175,000 bridges for our users’ 2016 Federal Highway NBI and NBE data reports.”

The GSA wants to put your coding skills to the test

Are you a passionate coder wanting to shape the future of Location Based Services (LBS) and Geo-IoT (Internet of Things)? Maybe you’re already working on an LBS-based application? Or perhaps you want to test your skills while developing a prototype?

Either way, the Galileo Hackathon is for you. 

The two-day hackathon is a unique opportunity to showcase your coding skills, connect with the GEO-IoT app development community, gain a competitive advantage for your future projects and compete for a chance to win exciting prizes. Competitors will also be amongst the very first to utilise Galileo-enabled mobile phones.

As Europe’s Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS), Galileo provides improved positioning and timing information that will greatly benefit European services and users – including the LBS community. Being fully compatible with all existing and future GNSS (i.e., GPS, GLONASS, etc.), Galileo enables a seamless and accurate experience for multi-constellation users worldwide. With Galileo Initial Services set to launch this year, the Galileo Hackathon is a once-in-a-lifetime chance to get in on the ground floor and help shape the future of Location Based Services.

The challenge

The challenge to you is to come up with innovative applications that make full use of the Galileo’s numerous capabilities. There are no limitations on the types of applications you can submit, so be creative and show us how your application will bring an added commercial or societal value by using Galileo services.

Judges from the mobile technology and LBS industry, along with GNSS experts, will evaluate applications based on their level of innovation, benefit(s) to society, market readiness, usefulness, usability and design. Two winners will be announced, one for the most innovative Galileo app and one for the app having the most substantial societal impact, with both winners receiving a cash prize of EUR 500.00 and having their work featured on the GSA website.

The details

The Hackathon is open to any individual or team of two to four people interested in developing new applications using Galileo. The Hackathon will be held November 3 – 4 during WhereCamp, the ‘unconference’ dedicated to geolocation enthusiasts and professionals, at Berlin’s Beuth University of Applied Sciences. All participants must register for both WhereCamp Berlin and the Galileo Hackathon and must commit to participating in both days of the event. Registration is free. Galileo-enabled mobile phones will be provided, so all you need to bring is your laptop and a good idea. On-site technical support will also be available.

More information and registration can be found here.

The two-day hackathon is a unique opportunity to showcase your coding skills, connect with the GEO-IoT app development community, gain a competitive advantage for your future projects and compete for a chance to win exciting prizes. Competitors will also be amongst the very first to utilise Galileo-enabled mobile phones.

As Europe’s Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS), Galileo provides improved positioning and timing information that will greatly benefit European services and users – including the LBS community. Being fully compatible with all existing and future GNSS (i.e., GPS, GLONASS, etc.), Galileo enables a seamless and accurate experience for multi-constellation users worldwide. With Galileo Initial Services set to launch this year, the Galileo Hackathon is a once-in-a-lifetime chance to get in on the ground floor and help shape the future of Location Based Services.

The challenge

The challenge to you is to come up with innovative applications that make full use of the Galileo’s numerous capabilities. There are no limitations on the types of applications you can submit, so be creative and show us how your application will bring an added commercial or societal value by using Galileo services.

Judges from the mobile technology and LBS industry, along with GNSS experts, will evaluate applications based on their level of innovation, benefit(s) to society, market readiness, usefulness, usability and design. Two winners will be announced, one for the most innovative Galileo app and one for the app having the most substantial societal impact, with both winners receiving a cash prize of EUR 500.00 and having their work featured on the GSA website.

The details

The Hackathon is open to any individual or team of two to four people interested in developing new applications using Galileo. The Hackathon will be held November 3 – 4 during WhereCamp, the ‘unconference’ dedicated to geolocation enthusiasts and professionals, at Berlin’s Beuth University of Applied Sciences. All participants must register for both WhereCamp Berlin and the Galileo Hackathon and must commit to participating in both days of the event. Registration is free. Galileo-enabled mobile phones will be provided, so all you need to bring is your laptop and a good idea. On-site technical support will also be available.

Bentley Institute and Rutgers University Collaborate on Hurricane Sandy Research

14.9.2016 15:16   Bentley Systems   Untitled Document

First of Several Research Findings Published in ASCE Journal Natural Hazards Review

EXTON, Pa., U.S.A. – Bentley Fellow Dr. Zheng Yi Wu and a team from Rutgers University jointly published a paper titled “Analysis of Dominant Factors Associated with Hurricane Damages to Residential Structures Using the Rough Set Theory” in the March 29, 2016 issue of the American Society of Civil Engineers’ (ASCE) journal Natural Hazards Review. The research was sponsored by Bentley and jointly conducted with research collaborator Dr. Jie Gong, Assistant Professor in the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering, Rutgers University; Postdoctoral Research Fellow Bingsheng Liu; and Graduate Research Assistant Xuan Hu.

The research leveraged the data collected from advanced remote sensing technologies, including mobile LiDAR sensors, to collect high-resolution, 3D images of damaged communities. Using Bentley Pointools and MicroStation software, a “reality modeling” representation was then developed to enable rapid assessment of hurricane-related flooding. One outcome of the research was the determination of the dominant factors that contributed to the failure of residential structures during the hurricane. In the United States, Hurricane Sandy was the second costliest hurricane in U.S. history and affected 24 states, including the entire eastern seaboard from Florida to Maine. The technical paper can be accessed at ASCE Library.

Dr. Zheng Wu said, “Bentley’s reality-modeling-based approach allows rapid and objective evaluation of hurricane damage and, more importantly, yields more extensive data, thereby enabling more strategic approaches to building and rebuilding infrastructure that better ensure resiliency. We gained valuable insights into the specific mechanisms of damage and how best to conduct systematic assessment of damages. In addition to publication by ASCE, our research findings are being published in several other journals, and we have been asked to present our findings in many conference venues and workshops sponsored by state and federal agencies.”

Assistant Professor, Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering, Rutgers University, Dr. Jie Gong said, “Working together with Dr. Wu at Bentley, I was able to take my initial research concept and turn it into a predictive model on hurricane damage and damage mitigation that has important practical applications for the eastern seaboard of the U.S. and any other part of the world with hurricane events. I am indebted to Dr. Wu’s hydraulics modeling expertise, Bentley’s MicroStation and Pointools modeling and visualization software, and the work of the two talented post-graduate interns who worked on this important project.”

Global Head, Bentley Institute, Vinayak Trivedi said, “Bentley Fellow Dr. Zheng Wu’s project is an excellent example of Bentley Institute’s commitment to advancing the infrastructure professions. Studying the mechanisms of damage of Hurricane Sandy and applying the information learned from this data will help to mitigate both the economic and environmental impact of future hurricanes and create greater infrastructure resiliency.”

Dr. Wu also collaborates frequently with researchers at the School of Municipal Engineering, Harbin Institute of Technology, in Harbin, China. The June 2016 issue of ASCE’s Journal of Water Resources Planning and Management published a paper detailing the results of joint research entitled “Leakage Zone Identification in Large-Scale Water Distribution Systems Using Multiclass Support Vector Machines.” The paper presents a new method for identifying leakage zones of water distribution systems, and can be accessed here.

In other ASCE news, Greg Bentley, CEO, was recently named to the ASCE Industry Leaders Council (ILC). ILC engages senior leaders from industry, academia, government, and non-governmental organizations to prioritize agenda-setting actions for ASCE and the civil engineering profession.

Greg Bentley, CEO, said, “I am honored to join a distinguished group of industry leaders on the Industry Leaders Council and look forward to working together to identify critical national infrastructure challenges and, more importantly, solutions and strategies that advance America’s infrastructure.”
