There has been a storm on the Internet recently with the victory key board. On behalf of Bijoy keyboard owner Mostaf Jabbar, Google has probably been accused of copyright infringement. On the basis of that complaint, Google has removed the popular Ridmik keyboard from Google Play Store. I wanted to write this writing for a long time, I wrote it today.
The question is whether the keyboard layout can be patented? In the United States of America in 1878, our most popular QWERTY keyboard lay out today has been patented. ( http://www.google.com/parents/US207559). The work of this keyboard layout was in that time to make sure that no jam was created in the type writer. So what is the layout of the keyboard layout can be patented Those who use smartphones, know that Swipe is the most popular way to unlock the screen, Apple's patented technology. Apple has filed a lawsuit against Samsung for a large amount of money for its use without permission, so that Samsung has fined a fine amount by finishing the first trial. Many of our most popular copy paste, text selection - etc are patented. The small developers may not say anything like IBM or Apple's company, but after the big company's halua rattles (that is, the rival software causes them to be threatened), they earn money by doing the same suit.
The issue of controversy is whether the software patent or layout patent is correct. Those who are in favor of this, want to say that patents can be seen that the extra royals are available, using that research is invented new. Opposition believes that this patent is prevented by innovation. In principle, any party is right, subject to debate. But the companies who saw the patent portfolio are good, and whose patent portfolio is bad, they talk about the badness of the software patent.
We are not very familiar with ethnicity in ethnicity. We do not like to spend poor and foreign currency as a country. External References Text books or software cost a lot. So, in our country, Deendras are selling photocopies by violating custom copyright in place like Nilkhet. As a member of the International Law and the World Trade Organization, Bangladesh will be respectful of international copyright law. So, if ever international pressure is forced to seize the copy of all the fake copies of the books of Nilkhet, then there is no legal way to do anything. Many here can say that the ability to buy reference books in poor countries like us will come from the words. Take a hole, your teacher can tell his college or university's library to buy books, and there is a provision to read the necessary pages for photocopying of the necessary pages from the library copy.
Forcibly give an example of patent use and piracy. Think you have a land of your own. What you bought You can take ownership of the crops that grow crops in the land. If the person in the adjacent house says that he is poor, he will steal your crops, then he will do wrong by the law of Bangladesh (and in most of the civilized society). The rights of all the crops grown in the soil of Bangladesh do not become mango crowds. There are laws for that. You can donate your zombie crop to welfare, that is your own concern. This is the case with software. Mustafa Jabbar is the owner of his victory software and key board. He will give it free of charge, whether he will give up his right, he is his personal matter. If he wants to keep his lay out, we have no right to say it. Just as we can not criticize a farmer, if the farmer refuses to give his land free of cost.
Mostafa Jabbar has done a lot of work to popularize his use of his keyboard. Marketing, lobbying in government. The job of any company owner is so. He has become popular by seeing today's victory very close to the demands of the board layout, so much so much. There is nothing to hate him in this. There were many lay out of the Bengali keyboard, which are extinct today.
One thing is seen in the Facebook comment, that a screenshot of Pappana Bhai appears in the early version of the victory keyboard. It is said that Mustafa Jabbar himself is not the inventor of victory. In fact, for any work in a company, for work, the meritocracy does not have any recognition for work-for-hire. For that reason thousands of programmers are working in Windows but Windows does not become their personal resources. Other seniors employed in software companies can tell. Creating and marketing any software, and maintaining it, is cost-effective. The victory of 1998 will not work on the Windows 8 computer nowadays. It needs to be updated. It takes the manpower to do that. Labor and intellectuals are needed. If someone wants to do it without any cost of their own labor and talent, it is a very commendable job. So there is no reason why everyone should leave the software profits.
Many ridiculously ridicule Mustafa Jabbar on another matter, it is shortened to do business with Hol language. We have a strange disgust for business objectives. Business is the crime of language? Then why the Bangla Academy's National Book Fair is organized? Many authors nowadays give them their blogs. So say Muhammad Zafar Iqbal, or others who are the writers, have any liability, and do not print that book all the way to photocopy the blue book, or leave online? The author of the book, which he has the right, has the benefit of the money he has received from his book. That's why the copyright law. If the writer's intellectuals were not preserved, then many would not have been professionally writing. Similarly, if anyone wants to do business with a private language written in Bengali language, he has the right to do so. He deserves to be sold out of that profit.
Those victories have disturbed the board, remember, that victory is not a national asset. Rather a person is wealth. If you do not like it, then use it again. Use phonetic or national layout. Typist in your office asked to use national or phonetic lay out. His popularity was increased when he piracy software. For that reason, Windows has been able to maintain its top position for a long time.
I do not even support anybody's personal resources keyboard lay out standard. So the victory keyboard can be difficult in one time, but do not write with victory about 4 years. I was active in Avro's forum once to help them. And also demand for shift free phonetic typing. Avro has done a wonderful job of excluding Younis.
There have been many criticisms about Samsung's alleged patent infringement with Apple Swipe to Unlock, Over-Scroll Bounce. But simultaneously, Samsung has excited to innovate. At present, instead of Apple's approach to Android, there has been an effect on the blue over in Over-Scroll, which in my opinion works better than Apple's technology. If the victory key is blocked by Mustafa Jabbar on patent, then the phonetic keyboard will be more popular. It would be good if we have the other le Out Bangladesh standard instead of the victory leigh. It would be better to protect it with an open patent. Along with this, more new technologies will come by using it.
Postscript
I'll tell you the subject of a legal text before the end.
Bijoy Ki Key Board has been released in 1987. In 2007 this keyboard layout was patented. According to Article 26.1 (m) of the Patents and Design Act 1911 of Bangladesh, a patent can be revoked if it can be proved in court that the inventor has commercialized his inventions before filing patents for his invention. The following is the following:
- (1) High Court Division all or any of the following grounds, before the rejection of a patent in full or in part of a suit for a suit for violation of the suit, namely: -
(m) That prior to the date of the patent, the patentee or other persons (not being an authority by any department of government, or the agents or contractors), or by the government of that side of the authorization of any other person is secretly on the invention of the work A commercial scale (and not just by way of reasonable trial or experiment) in Bangladesh, and thereby, such amount of excess from direct or indirect profits, as the Court may consider the case of all the circumstances of consideration reasonable;
It should be noted here that Mustafa Jabbar himself has admitted that he has been selling commercial keyboards since 1993. I have a clear idea that a software called Proshika sound was purchased for my father's office in 2001, which was a victory out. When the patent was commercially used before, it can be seen whether the patent can bear a petition at all. . Similarly, there is a need for taking such a case or handling the High Court.
Want to see the huge user group of Avro or Riddique spend this money on the High Court by spending money on its pocket. And if not, the free software model that does not apply to our country will prove that.
