Global Minds Forge (GMF): Fueling Engineering Innovation and Investment

 How do we maintain that spark, that personal drive, in a world of global challenges, complex technologies, and often impersonal business processes? How can an engineer, whose soul burns with the idea of a cosmic engine or an eco-friendly material, find not just a client, but a true kindred spirit? And how can an investor, who feels the pulse of the future, discover not just a "project with ROI," but a team of highly skilled engineers whose eyes shine with the same passion as their own vision? Hello, my name is Pavel, and I'm here to introduce you to a potentially revolutionary project: Global Minds Forge (GMF) .

The Engineer's Zero Royalty: An Analysis of Systemic Causes and the Design of a Hybrid Compensation Model

  Abstract: This article analyzes the "engineer's zero royalty" phenomenon—the systemic absence of direct, long-term financial benefits for creating engineers from the commercial use of their developments, in contrast to compensation models in other creative fields. It examines the economic, legal, and cultural foundations of this issue, including the principal-agent problem, the historical specifics of patent law for work-for-hire inventions, and the phenomenon of "systemic anonymity of the creator." As a solution, the article proposes a shift from the binary "employee/entrepreneur" model to a hybrid compensation system that includes dynamic royalties with vesting, conditional rewards tied to product KPIs, and equity participation through options. The implementation of such a model is viewed as a strategic imperative for stimulating innovation and enhancing economic competitiveness. Keywords: engineering labor, royalties, intellectual property, work...
