Dmitry Platonov from
IDlect agency will tell you whether it is advisable to formalize the right to intellectual property, why not all Russian companies follow this rule, and how best to approach patenting. After the report, you can ask Dmitry questions and get competent advice. By the way, questions can be asked in twitter with the hashtag #sctmoscow.
A "main course" will be "crash tests" - half-hour performances of projects, including a presentation and communication with experts and the hall. We invited three start-ups who already had a working prototype, and somewhere the first sales, to try our strength in this format. This time testing your business model will be:

CorksIzOkna (
probkiizokna.ru ) is a service with a talking name that allows one to earn up to 400 rubles. per month by installing a camera on the window overlooking the nearest section of the road, and others to see what the situation is at one point or another of the city. The video tracker developed by the project team allows you to share information without loading the computer, and one of the interesting options on the site is switching in one click between the “traffic jams” and the Google traffic service. By the way, Probkiizokna.ru is based on a patented system for determining the congestion of highways, so that the team can also share its experience in protecting intellectual property.
Daraba (
daraba.ru ) - online service for those who monitor their physical shape and weight. He proposes to record training data, learn about new exercises, communicate with fitness experts and other participants, and even count calorie diets. Also, the creators want to offer users the most comprehensive catalog of physical exercises, equipped with photo and video explanations. The project opened in October and already has the first 500 registrations. In a month with a little work, Daraba has twice pleased users with useful innovations.
Playcer is a check-in based
geo -
location game that will be available on January 1, 2011. The first prototype for Google maps appeared in the summer of this year: it allowed us to place labels on the map and mark them with the rest of the participants in order to fulfill the conditions of the game. The project team relies on its wide integration capabilities, several user groups at once, and even sees major brands among its customers. The startup will be presented by Vitaly Vlasov, known to many as the organizer of the St. Petersburg conference NevaCamp.
Three more projects are preparing to present their pitches - short two-minute speeches that will be held between Dmitry Platonov's report and crash tests. There are still places for those who want to talk about their project. If you want to promote a startup, write to
