Im not sure about what you said john, but I might be missing something.
The first part just says somrthing that is always true- if you disclose your discovery or invention before you file for a patent, you forefit the right to do so.
The second part, as far as I can see, says nothing about them having rights etc.

Well then I have to put my 25 dollar OD600 bacterial turbidity unit onto the main burner. Good luck everyone!
From the TOU and official rules:
"Please note: in some jurisdictions, the publication of your project on the Sponsor Site could materially affect rights (e.g., adversely affect patent and design rights) that you may own in the project. You should make your own inquiries and seek your own advice on this issue."
and from our sponsor:
" Build Their Lab Details:
Tekla Labs has surveyed 20 labs in countries across Latin America and found that over 50% needed the following common laboratory equipment items: microscopes, media rotators, fluorometers, sterilization equipment, spectrophotometers, PCR machines, incubators, water baths, hot plate/magnetic stirrers, pH meters, electrophoresis chambers, sonicators, UV lamps, tissue culture hoods, centrifuges, chemical hoods and ELISA plate readers. Submitting designs for any one of these devices will make your design eligible for the Judges' Prize in this category! Check out the Tekla Labs website, and see how your designs can make a real impact for labs around the world!"
They mean, "By giving us your rights to produce your design or process or concept,
(and we may make those rights exclusive so you can't)."
All that boilerplate is enough to keep me from entering any normal contest...plus the competition
megalomaniacal angle. I prefer cooperatives.
The list of their survey results does validate much we've talked about there though.
Right here could become the main burner of productivity in inexpensive and open equipment design.
