The Open Source Hardware Association created a certification database that could be used for prior art, but it misses inventions that are not commercialized. To capture these technologies, this study describes a novel tool that is a semi-automated way of applying for certification from MediaWiki websites. A case study using Appropedia, found that transfer of information needed to obtain OSHWA certification could be completed on average in 62.5% less than direct form filling.","Page image":"File:Ga-oshwa-appro.png","Page keywords":"Intellectual property, Prior art, Open hardware, Automation, Certification, data management, knowledge, data management practices, open source software, free software, knowledge mobilization, [[Open Source]], open access, Innovation, free and open source software, open science","Page language":"en","Page title":"Towards open source patents: Semi-automated open hardware certification from MediaWiki websites","Page title tag":"Semi-Automated Open Hardware Certification from MediaWiki","Page views":"37","Page year":"Saturday, 01-Jan-22 00:00:00 UTC","Modification date":"Friday, 15-May-26 10:44:32 UTC"}
