Re: [Origami] What conventions are before the end of the year?
Jorge Jaramillo asked: I think there used to be more events listed at http://origamiusa.org/calendar but I only saw a few ones. Have the major conventions already passed this year or they're just not listed there? Calendar events more than a month old are not shown. Faye Goldman (OUSA calendar editor)

You can make a contract mentioning the copyright and the permissions. I saw your design and I think it's original, I make origami designs of flowers and tato related stuff. On the other side, we have to be careful about creating a very simple design, I don't really know how it works on the art field, but when you are about to make a patent, the invention should be original, complex and not common knowledge. the last point explains that, for example, you make a design, good, but other people with origami knowledge can make your design without CP or diagrams, your design then can be commonly made. I saw the video you posted and I think your design isn't common, so I reccomend you to make a contract with the company. Cheers, John -- *John O. Rodríguez Esquilín* *Origami Esquilín*

Re: [Origami] Use of my tato-letterfold by an institute?
In my country, Artistic origami is protected by copyright law but useful origami isn't. This continues to be true? It is my understanding that Columbia, to implement the provisions of the US-Columbia Free Trade Agreement, created a more restrictive copyright law (Bill No. 201 of 2012). The Official Bill no. 12 of 2012 can be explored here http://infojustice.org/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/pl-201-tlc-usa-implementacion.pdf I do read in the original Columbia copyright law, Law No. 23 of January 28, 1982, Article 2. "Copyright shall subsist in scientific, literary and artistic works, which shall be understood as being all creations of the mind in the scientific, literary and artistic domain, whatever may be their mode or form of expression and purpose" (http://www.wipo.int/edocs/lexdocs/laws/en/co/co012en.pdf) Incidentally, as it is often a question on this list, Article 32 of Columbia copyright law, Law No. 23 of January 28, 1982 allows for an exception to copyright violation for teaching...as does the US law.

[Origami] Use of my tato-letterfold by an institute?
About the tato-letterfold I created, an educational institute asked me to present a financial quote for folding a large quantity of leaflets in an original and interesting way. That inspired me to create the model I showed you guys two days ago. So say that they do pay for my services and I fold all the leaflets like that. I'm wondering if it's OK or if it isn't for the institute to keep on using that folding design for future leaflets. Once they have it, they can simply study the design and fold them themselves; it would be cheaper than paying my services for a second time. Know what I mean? In my country, Artistic origami is protected by copyright law but useful origami isn't. I know this for a fact. Tatos and letterfolds are considered useful origami instead of artistic. Where I'm going with this is that the institute wouldn't be braking any laws in my country for simply using a second time my folding design without paying me nor with my consent. So that's what I've been thinking about. I can't even make my mind of whether it's OK or if it isn't for a organization to do that. What are your thoughts? Thanks in advance guys ; )
