Competitors and concept

There are no direct competitors but:

• Animation Creator from Aple App store allows you to create animations
• Animation Desk for the ipad is an animation app
• Someone who has bought these apps above may be interested in buying our app as well

Our concept is different from the competition as it just produces key frames that are very important in the production of an animation, but is not in direct competition to the animation programmes.
It uses the film camera option on the phone or a similar devise, which is a different concept to any other animation app.
It allows the animator to find the extreme key poses which is very useful in animation and drawing.

Intellectual Property Rights/ Patents

These include branding goods (registered trade mark), the way a product looks (registered design), how the technology works (patent) and any literature or artistic work (copyright).
Patents protect the features and the processes that make things work. They are therefore able to be used for mobile phone apps. They therefore allow inventors to profit from their inventions. It is important not to publicly reveal your product before you apply for a patent.
It is possible to patent software inventions under section 35 USC section 101.
