Abstract: Business enterprises have always relied on intellectual property to further economic goals. 1 Well-known trademarks have been critical to the success of many consumer product companies that have spent years inculcating the public with an association between their products and a specific trademark. 2 Entire industries, such as publishing, music, and software, rely on intellectual property rights afforde by copyright law 3 to protect their investments. Patents 4 provide protection for much of the research and development activities conducted by commercial enterprises. Trade secret law 5 is utilized both as an alternative to patent protection and to protect commercial information that is outside the scope of patent protection.
