## ## ## ## ## The times must change

Present Technical trends are not favorable to the Planet Earth, nor to living species or to humanity. The times must change. This mainly depends on creativity. Blue Led reduces drastically energy consumption. Its creator, who finally received a Nobel Prize, met very severe difficulties to develop his creation because the leaders of the company he worked for refused his concept and research (see Annex 1).

Thousands of similar creations are needed. According to studies made, the creative potential of humanity is enormous. 90% of human beings, whatever their social rank, are potential creators. But real progress is difficult because many creations contradict the interests of the establishment that today governs the World.

The aim of Creafree is to allow other interests to get out of the box. When the Creator may prove the ownership of his creation and label its potential, he will then attract the necessary funding for its development.

## ## ## ## ## Empower Creators

International treaties recognize intellectual property. Article 27 of the 1948 Universal Declaration states: "Everyone has the right to the protection of the moral and material interests resulting from any scientific, literary or artistic production of which he is the author" (see Annex 2).

Most of the states have ratified the international pacts derived from this Declaration and guarantee to the author a lifetime ownership of their original works, plus to their heirs a duration of at least fifty years after their death.

Many Creators, especially developers and startup meet difficulties in expressing, proving and valuing their international property. Because of this, without the support of big companies, they are unable to attract the funding to develop their creation.

This is the reason why Creafree has defined a Standard to apply the essential requirements of the international treaties. Using this standard, creators are offered the possibility to build a strong international property which will assure the necessary guarantee which finance needs.

The implementation of this standard requires a high quality Internet Platform to register, publish, label and promote the original works of the Creators. The quality of this Platform will depend on the team that will develop and continuously improve the Platform.

## ## ## ## ## Toward Ethical Growth

In 2013, the world market of creation was considerable.

Every year, the World spends over 1,5 trillion dollars for Research and Development (R&D). According to the experts, this figure is much below needs. The new mechanisms brought by Creafree should contribute to multiply the number of creations and to raise the share of private funding of R&D because of the higher return on investment of startups and venture capital.

The cost of registering and publishing must be under $50 so that everyone may be empowered with the means to create. The quality of the protection must provide the necessary counterpart for the Creator to find the necessary finance needed for the Research and Development that will lead the Creation to the market.

We have entered in the era of creators. According to the experts, 60% of the products that will be sold on the market in 2030 do not exist today. Most of these products will be original creations. Using its most elaborate process, called Total Authenticity Marking, Creafree expects to cover an important part of these new products which represent a potential of 60 trillion dollars.

Creafree wishes to receive and protect all creations but to only support ethical products and services that meet the essential requirements of ethical development that this Charter proclaim. Creafree will not support creations that are used to:

        • kill human beings;
        • destroy the environment.

These principles (equal access to creation, total authenticity assurance, ethical growth) are covered by the provisions of the Creafree Standard. A first website and the basic mechanisms of registration and publication of Creabooks have already been tested at alpha level.

Clear terms of reference for the design of the full platform have been drafted, including the role of each world actors: creators, advisers, citizens and investors. An offer
