Discussion #3: Basic Concepts of Intellectual Property

Instructions

Think of two potential intellectual property situations that you may come across in your work and/or daily life. For each example, identify the kind of intellectual property that is in question and explain the implications.

If you cannot think of examples, you can use some of the following ideas (filling in the details as needed):

1. You think your secret recipe is the reason for the wild success of your restaurant.

2. You have written a popular series of books under a pseudonym.

3. You work as an inventor for a company, but after hours you have created a widget that you think might change the world.

4. You try to trademark the name of your small restaurant chain. It is called "Marvel's".

I AM PLANNING TO DO 1 AND 2. PLEASE HELP ME

You must use a different resolution mechanism for each example, and you must back up your analysis with reference to your materials.

Properly referencing your sources is required for all submissions. Refer to the Getting Started > Academic Honesty and Citing Sources page in your D2L course for more information.
