The First Patent of IoT, Internet of Things
Written by Li-Chang Kuo
Linda Din, A
Daughter of National Defense Employee (國防雇員的女兒) invented the first Internet of Things (IoT), and based on her
invention to propose the ‘E-Commerce’ at APEC 1998 as she was invited to speak a
topic of ‘Market Access’ and took part in
the task force to promote the needs of future information society in KL,
Malaysia. In 2003, Linda Din was again invited to APEC to contribute ‘Global Channel-TES’
for ‘Addressing the Needs of SME Exporters’ at the self-fund seminar ‘Growing
the APEC SME Exporters Community II: Business Perspective’ by Australia in
Thailand to win the best practice of
strengthening the economic society. Linda Din described her invention a ‘Substantial
Channel’ plus ‘Virtual Channel’ to be new economy model--‘TES’ for free
movement of people, goods, services and capital at APEC:
Ministers commended that “The process of building private-public
partnership (PPP) to address the needs of entrepreneurs in APEC. It has been shown that entrepreneurs
and SMEs are a major engine for
growth and jobs. The best practice ‘Global Channel-TES’ is a best guidance for
about 240
million people in the APEC Asian region who attempt to start a
business each year.” Linda Din thus be asmired as ‘A Lady of Rich Taiwan’ and
also ‘A Lady reached her hands for the Needy’.
A Calling—‘Creating New Industry for New Jobs’ came from
the Most High, and the receiver Linda Din who left the kitchen for answering
the call in 1986. Linda received a sign shown that “Unemployment Problem will
become the most serious issue in the future.” So that she obeyed the sign to
invent an instrumental solution named ‘The Electornic-Store System’ also
called as‘The eStore System’, in short as ‘TES’ that is a multilateral trading system including a lot of
components, meanwhile, the new industries of ‘Communication, Energy, Food and
Health’ could thus be derived for tremendous jobs to meet the human rights. Linda
made an drawing by her own in the beginning to illustrate its three major functions
as bellows:
First, the lower part
of front view is a substantial channel to provide consumer obtaining the goods
from ‘VAM & eStore’ which transaction be called as ‘Business to Consumer’
(B-C). Second,
the upper part is a virtual channel for computing the transmitted data through
the communication module to the Control Center and then distributing the data
to those stakeholders such as Suppliers, Logistics, and delivery of restocking
the goods to the ‘VAM & eStore’. Third, the right side showed a contactless TranSmart
card as a key for ‘A Door to the Global Market’. The illustration
actually as a new economy model for creating a new market scale will be bigger
than US$ 10 trillion to address the needs of the people.
Linda Din held many
seminars by her self-fund to promote ‘TES’ and explain ‘How to resolve the
jobless problem’ by means of ‘TES’—a new-tech trade and economic system for
over a decade. And then in 1997, Linda announced her invention at APEC in Vancouver , Canada ;
thereafter continued promoting in the United
States of America , and founded a firm ‘Panhornic ComMec
Holding Company’ also registered in Santa
Clara , California . The
officials of Canada
suggested Linda to apply the patents, otherwise the others realized that future
profits that obstacles of resolving jobless problem could be emerged.
Consequently, Linda Din collected her scripts and drawings to sort out and further for preparing the patented formats and applying to the multinational
Intellectual Property Offices in addition to the TIPO. Nowadays, when input the
key words in Google you will be easily to find her invention which she answered
the call, those website samples as following:
Recently, the most famous beverage companies
attempted to install Linda Din’s invention on the market. According to the TPP’
set the rule in Atlanta in October, 2015, the Chapter 18 is special for the intellectual
property, and it declared that “The chapter establishes standards for patents, based
on the WTO’s TRIPS Agreement and international best
practices. The chapter covers patents, trademarks, copyrights,
industrial designs, geographical indications, trade secrets, other forms of
intellectual property, and enforcement of intellectual property rights, as well
as areas in which Parties agree to cooperate. The IP chapter will make it easier
for businesses to search, register, and protect IP rights in new markets, which
is particularly important for small businesses.” Once a wise man said that “Business
as a battlefield!” The most evil thing is to be a theft and as IP infringement
for improper interests—the deeds will be defined as ‘CORRUPTION’. TPP
emphasized on high standard, TPP Parties agreed to ensure certain due process rights
for their stakeholders in connection with administrative proceedings, including
prompt review through impartial judicial or administrative tribunals or
procedures. They also agreed to adopt or maintain laws criminalizing offering
to, or solicitation of, undue advantages by a public official, as well as other
acts of corruption affecting international trade or investment. Parties also
committed to effectively enforce their anticorruption laws and regulations.
As to the TPP’s Chapter 18 concerning the ‘INTELLECTUAL
PROPERTY’, from Section A: General Provisions, Article 18.1: Definitions that
based on the Berne Convention, Budapest Treaty, Declaration on TRIPS and Public
Health, Madrid Protocol, Paris Convention, Singapore Treaty, UPOV 1991, WCT, WPPT
and WIPO; and to Section J: Internet Service Providers, Article 18.82: Legal
Remedies and Safe Harbours, in a manner consistent with Article 41 of the TRIPS
Agreement, providing enforcement procedures that permit effective action by
right holders against copyright
infringement covered under this Chapter that occurs in the online environment.
Accordingly, each Party shall ensure that legal remedies are available for
right holders to address such copyright infringement and shall establish or
maintain appropriate safe harbours in respect of online services that are
Internet Service Providers, and so on.
Indeed, the Calling from
the Most High is a mission that can not be contaminated.
