I had come across a post by Neville Hobson (2^nd August) on Gartner restricts usage of hype cycle graphics, which discussed the subject of copyright. Gartner has a clearly defined policy on who can quote the hype cycle – Want to quote a Hype Cycle?.

Does such copyright violation help or harm Gartner?
I think it is good free advertisement of the report as well as the concept of hype cycle and I agree with Neville Hobson that by restricting the use Gartner is preventing “…buzz about their research…” to emerge.

Brendan Hughes has commented that a “…creative commons type approach here would be very beneficial for Gartner and more in keeping with the spirit of openness in the digital age.”

However, Gartner feels that the use of the graphics out of context can be misleading. For example, according to Gartner, labels like trough of disillusionment, is open to misinterpretation.

Other Hype-Cycle Reports
Apart from the hype cycle on emerging technologies, which receive the maximum attention, Gartner also published hype-cycles of many other topics (I counted 79 of the). You can see the list here. Each report is around USD 1,995.

However, if you are only interested in the finding out what technologies are covered in each of the report, it is available as the table of content available on the Gartner site.

Usefulness of the report
Here are few of my earlier posts discussing the same:

• Gartner Hype Cycle 2009 – Emerging Technologies
• Is the Technology Hype-Cycle of any use?
