- * Sign up as a patent application reviewer at Peer-to-Patent [http://www.peertopaten.org (http://www.peertopatent.org)] and contribute your knowledge about science to help the patent granting process. Help make meaningful patents possible and silly patents a thing of history. Consistently the applications reviewed on peertopatent.org are of better quality than other applications. If you do sign up, as a result of my urging you to do so, please drop me a note. I would like to keep track of how many people I have converted.

- * Practice open science... make your data available, make your source code available, make your findings and research output available to everyone. Publish creative work under one of the many Creative Commons licenses. Publish your data under the CC0 protocol. Urge others to do so as well. (see [http://wiki.creativecommons.org/CC0 http://wiki.creativecommons.org/CC0])

Publish creative work under one of the many Creative Commons licenses. Publish your data under the CC0 protocol. Urge others to do so as well. (see [http://wiki.creativecommons.org/CC0 http://wiki.creativecommons.org/CC0]). Think before asserting your right in your work -- does it make sense? will it help or hinder the spread of knowledge? Do preserve and protect your rights, but also do what you can to spread knowledge and advance science.
 
  * Learn about intellectual property and how it affects your science. Assert your right over your output. If you choose to give it away, do it consciously and knowingly. Don't give up your rights to publishing companies. Don't let them bully you into agreeing to things you don't understand. Read End-User License Agreements and Software License Agreements. Understand the difference between contracts and licenses (see my article at [http://www.punkish.org/Licensing-Geographic-Data http://www.punkish.org/Licensing-Geographic-Data]). Understand the difference between copyrights and patents and trademarks and trade secrets.
