Patent
When you register for Green Challenge, be aware that you are uploading your abstract for publication. This means you should consider how many details in the abstract describe your idea/project. A compiled abstract book (for all participating projects) will be uploaded here on the site and sent to the judges before the conference day.
Please know, that you cannot patent a concept. So, you can write about, explain, and show what your product or idea can do and what makes it smart. However, you should avoid disclosing the part of the project that can be patented if you are considering patenting it. Avoid details about the specific technology, but explain the concept.
