El impacto de la tecnología Blockchain en el Diseño Gráfico para gestionar los derechos de propiedad intelectual de las creaciones digitales de los estudiantes de la Facultad de Diseño y Arquitectura de la Universidad Técnica de Ambato

Abstract

The limited use of new technologies by teachers and the university community are not obstacles to managing the intellectual property rights of students, for this reason the present research project on Graphic Design and Blockchain Technology has been proposed. The investigation arises from the lack of knowledge of this technology and little information material, for this reason a guide was made so that students and professionals can learn about the benefits of Blockchain technology and how it can contribute to graphic design. To carry out this research, information about the subject of study was collected; through a qualitative approach in which viable instruments were developed to obtain pertinent and truthful information: for example, an interview script that was applied to 6 teachers to identify the types of products and digital arts that the students of the career develop and an interview script with an expert in Blockchain technology to describe its operation in relation to the possibilities with the management of intellectual property rights. When obtaining the results, they revealed that the Blockchain technology allows the management of the intellectual property rights of the digital creations of the products and digital arts of the students of the Faculty of Design and Architecture of the Technical University of Ambato. It is concluded that the main benefits of smart contracts using Blockchain technology is to provide greater security and decentralization of the management of intellectual property rights, in this way the characteristics of the chain of blocks are related to the state regulatory bodies of the Ecuador that mentions and validates smart contracts.
