Ten Famous Intellectual Property Disputes
Review
the article at the link above or click on the picture below.
The law currently allows patenting of even life forms if they are
genetically modified plants and animals. Patent protection lasts
20 years in most cases. Patents were originally intended to
provide incentives for innovation and allow the patent owner
the opportunity to profit from their work.

Find an article or other information from a credible source
centered on intellectual property and/or in infringement upon
intellectual property rights.

Post:
From the information above and the information others have

4. pinned; from a business and society standpoint, should patent
protections be expanded and extended or should they be more
limited?
From Barbie to cereal to a tattoo, a copyright lawsuit can get
contentious; some have even reached the Supreme Court

Writing Assignment #2, Current Business Law Topic (220 pts)
The Current Business Law Topic assignment will be made up of
two parts.
The first will be a one-page memorandum (1 page of text)
summarizing a legal item of interest from a business periodical
which is relevant to the study of business and law and your
thoughts on the issues and concepts presented. The second will
be presentation where you share your learning with the class.
For the first part of the assignment, your memo should address
how it relates to the focus of our studies in our class. Topics
can be selected from a wide range of sources. However, a link
to your selected article must be included in your memo along
with a full APA citation for your article so that I can locate it
and read it.
As the second part of this assignment, you will make a 3-5 slide
presentation for your classmates which communicate the ideas
you discuss in your memo. It will be a simulated presentation
using either the speaker’s notes in PowerPoint, or the narration
feature of PowerPoint. Your presentation should be 3-5 minutes
or could be presented in 3-5 minutes. If you elect the speaker
notes option you should annotate your speaker’s notes in the

5. area that PowerPoint provides. If you elect the narration
option, it should be embedded with PowerPoint.
Thus, your classmates will learn from your work. Both your
memo and your PowerPoint presentation will be distributed to
your classmates as you will be required to post your work to a
discussion forum.
The topic for your memo can center on topics we have discussed
in the course or will discuss in course, or a business law topic
or issue that is of particular interest to you. You must select an
article from a credible source. I offer the following as an
abbreviated list of possible periodicals as sources for
articles. Many of these and other sources have online resources
or are available online through the Strayer University Online
Library. There are a number of resources available through
ProQuest and/or EBSCOHost. The article selected must be at
least 1000 words in length. I would suggest you take advantage
of our library resources.
The Wall Street Journal
USAToday
Any business journal similar to "
The Puget Sound Business Journal" The publisher of this
business journal publishes similar for many metropolitan areas
in the US.
Any regional newspaper similar to The Seattle Times
Harvard Business Review
Journal of Business Ethics
Business Week
Newsweek
Any Law Journal from any law school
Any Federal or State court case from any reporter (contact me if
you are using this source and prior to making your selection)
Guide for the Memo
Your memo should be divided into sections with section headers

6. corresponding at minimum to the sections suggested below,
Summary, Analysis, and Reflection
Your memo should briefly summarize the article.
This is an ideal section to place your brief comment as to the
reason you believe the source to be credible.
I would suggest that no more than 1/4 or the memo be used for
this purpose.
Follow your summary with an analysis of the article and how it
applies to the study of business and law. I would suggest
approximately 1/2 of the page be used for this purpose.
The remaining space should be used to convey your reflection
on the article, i.e. specify your conclusions, opinions based on
your analysis, and how the knowledge you gained relates to
your understanding of business and/or management and the
legal environment, and how it can be applied.
Please insure you have cited the article correctly within your
memo. Your memo should be single spaced. Within your memo
and during your presentation, comment on your opinion of the
validity of your source and why.
The grading rubric provides you insights into how the work will
be evaluated.
You will also be posting your work in a future discussion
question for all to read and provide you feedback.
