The First Patent of IoT, Internet of Things

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.
