    We are working on a novel concept and are in the process of getting the technology patented.
    Are the concepts presented by the participants protected?

    Concepts can be legally protected by applying for a patent. Participants who worry about IP protection should not participate in the round II.

    We recommend that you keep the video within the 10 minutes limit, but if there's no way to cut it short and you think it is absolutely necessary to include those extra 2 minutes, we won't mind a 12-minute long entry.
    All the best for Round II.
