关于RoboMaster参赛队开源资料保护的说明/Protecting Intellectual Property Rights inOpen-Source Materials for RoboMaster Participating Teams

RoboMaster组委会自成立以来，始终鼓励参赛队追求技术创新，并倡导技术开源，在RoboMaster圈内营造技术交流、开源分享的氛围。在比赛过程中，RoboMaster组委会坚守尊重参赛队的知识产权的原则。但据参赛队反映，其发现一些机构或个人未经同意使用参赛队的技术资料而不标明出处，更有甚者用做商业用途。

经过咨询，在开源资料知识产权保护上，由于RoboMaster组委会并不是参赛队开源资料著作权的权利人，故无法代替参赛队行使知识产权保护的权利。

针对参赛队开源资料保护，RoboMaster组委会给出以下建议可供参考：

一、在开源资料中做必要的保护标识，防范于未然。

(一) 在图纸中添加战队水印：
文字版：XX学校RoboMaster战队
图片版：战队队徽+队名保护
(二) 对于图纸和代码等进行著作权登记，在网上开源时资料包中加入保护说明，范文参考如下：
1.本次开源作品XXX（作品名），出自XXX（作者名）。作品仅用于技术交流，未经作者允许，不得作任何商业用途。
2.转载须注明作品出处，对非法转载者，作者保留采用法律手段追究的权利。（或未经作者允许，不得转载至任何公共空间）
3.本作品的声明以及其修改权、保护作品完整权及最终解释权均归XX学校XX战队所有。

二、若发现不法商家有侵权行为，可以通过第三方平台进行投诉。以下以淘宝为例：

阿里巴巴有自己的知识产权保护平台。可以在平台上发起侵权投诉。
具体规则如下：

1.https://ipp.alibabagroup.com/infoContent.htm?skyWindowUrl=rules/cn-taobao1

2.https://rule.taobao.com/detail-506.htm?spm=a2o2l.10374980.0.0.678e747bSYYwVn

风险提示及操作建议：包括阿里巴巴在内的电商平台，在投诉前都需要提交相关侵权证据。所以参赛战队应当注意保存如下能够作为证明的资料：

1.作品开发的时间；

2.开源的时间；

3.作品源文件；

4.保留对方侵权的证据，如店铺售卖源代码的截图；

5.若有著作权登记，则提供著作权登记证书。

三、对于能符合专利授予条件的代码等技术资料，可根据价值在开源（公开）前考虑申请专利。

四、若发现其他侵权行为，可通过向法院起诉维护知识产权。

备注：

1.由于知识产权维权涉及的问题较多，还是建议能委托专门的机构进行处理。

五、免责声明：

上述建议仅供参考，RoboMaster组委会对其不承担法律和事实上的任何责任。

希望各参赛队都培养良好的维权意识，共同抵制侵权行为。

Since its establishment, the RoboMaster OrganizingCommittee (RMOC) has been encouraging teams to pursue technical innovation andadvocating for open-source technology, fostering technical exchanges andknowledge sharing within the RoboMaster community. During the competition, RMOCis committed to respecting the intellectual property rights (IPR) ofparticipating teams. However, some teams have reported that their technicalmaterials are used by some organizations or individuals without consent orattribution, and are even used for commercial purposes in some cases.

Consultation shows that the RMOC, as it is not thecopyright holder of the open-source materials of participating teams, cannotrepresent them in enforcing their IPR.

In light of this, the RMOC offers the following recommendations forparticipating teams regarding the IPR protection of their open-sourcematerials:

I. Mark open-source materials to prevent unauthorizeduse.

(1) Add a team watermark to drawings:
Text: XX School RoboMaster Team
Image: Team emblem + team name
(2) Registercopyright for drawings, code, and other materials, and include a copyright noticein the open-source package when sharing it online. An example copyright notice isas follows:
1. This open-source work, XXX (name), is created by XXX(author's name). It is solely for technical exchange and must not be used forany commercial purposes without the author's permission.
2. Be sure to credit the original source of the work whenyou repost it. Otherwise, the author reserves the right to take legal actionagainst illegal reposting. (Or, reposting the work in any public domain withoutthe author's permission is prohibited.)
3. The copyright notice of this work, as well as the rightsto its modification, protection of its integrity, and final interpretation,belongs to XX School XX Team.

II. Upon identification of infringements on your IPR, youcan file a complaint through a third-party platform. Here's an example usingTaobao:

Alibaba has its own intellectual property protectionplatform where you can file aninfringement complaint.
Specific rulesare as follows:

1.https://ipp.alibabagroup.com/infoContent.htm?skyWindowUrl=rules/cn-taobao1

2.https://rule.taobao.com/detail-506.htm?spm=a2o2l.10374980.0.0.678e747bSYYwVn

Risk disclaimer and operating suggestions:E-commerce platforms, including Alibaba, require relevant proof of infringementbefore a complaint can be filed. Therefore, participating teams must preservethe following materials as proof:

1.The timeline of work development;

2.The timeline of the open-source release;

3.Source files of the work;

4.Evidence of the infringement, such as screenshots of the store selling thesource code;

5.If the concerned copyright is registered, provide the certificate of copyrightregistration.

III. For code and other technical materials that meet therequirements to obtain a patent, consider applying for a patent based on theirvalue before open sourcing (public release).

IV. If you identify other infringements, you can protectyour IPR by filing a lawsuit with the court.

Note:

Since IPR protection involves numerous complexities, we recommend thatparticipating teams use services from specialized agencies to handle relevantmatters.

V. Disclaimer:

The aboverecommendations are for reference only, for which the RMOC does not bear anylegal or factual responsibility.

We hope that allparticipating teams can build a strong awareness of IPR protection and fightagainst IPR infringements.
