• ASP.NET Core (C#): Provides a high-performance, cross-platform framework for building the web application.
• MongoDB: Serves as the database layer, offering flexible and efficient storage for complex IP data.
• IPFLang (DSL): A custom-built Domain-Specific Language tailored for defining and computing IP fees with precision.
• Background Services: Enable asynchronous processing to handle computationally intensive tasks seamlessly.
• Docker: Facilitates containerized deployment, ensuring consistency across development, testing, and production environments.

Key Features

• Formalized IP Documentation: IPFLang allows users to express intricate details of IP documents in a structured, machine-readable format.
• Rapid Computation: Performs complex fee calculations in seconds, eliminating the need for prolonged manual processes.
• Multi-Jurisdictional Support: Accommodates the diverse requirements of IP documentation across 118 registered jurisdictions.
• Comprehensive Fee Database: Supports 355 intellectual property-related fees and jurisdiction-specific service fees, ensuring accurate cost calculations.
• Global Currency Support: Seamlessly handles transactions in any currency, including exotic ones, with exchange rates sourced from authoritative institutions like the Central European Bank and other reliable providers.
• Modularized Data Inputs: Organizes data into 18 distinct modules to simplify the complexity of fee computations.
• Programmatic Access via API: Offers a user-friendly API for seamless integration with external systems, enhancing accessibility and automation.
• Scalable and Maintainable: Built with modern technologies to ensure long-term reliability and ease of updates.

IPFLang Design

• Structured Language Reference: IPFLang provides a robust syntax for defining and computing IP fees, detailed in the official reference documentation.
• Formal Grammar: Defined in Backus-Naur Form (BNF), IPFLang’s grammar ensures precise and consistent fee calculations.

Board generator for Airplanes game

Airplanes is a strategy game between two players, very popular in Romania in the 70s and 80s. With the advent of personal computers and game consoles, the popularity of paper games has declined, but their charm is unmatched in the family, on hikes and whenever we want to escape from the excessively technological world. The less pleasant part of the paper game is the manual preparation of the boards, which consists of drawing the grid, the coordinates and the correct placement of the planes on the grid. This site caters to those who want to play Airplanes by automatically generating a variety of game boards.
