Week 5 Reading Reflection

1) What was the biggest surprise for you in the reading? In other words, what did you read that stood out the most as different from your expectations?

I figured it was a big deal to get a patent, but I didn’t think the process would be so complex in securing one. Would be nice if you could just say, “here’s my idea, protect it.”

2) Identify at least one part of the reading that was confusing to you.

Although it would take a bit to cover this topic, but maybe going into more detail on the Revised Uniform Limited Partnership Act. Mainly, explain each article in a little more detail.

3) If you were able to ask two questions to the author, what would you ask? Why?

Besides copyright and trademark are there any other ways to protect my product or company, mainly in the long run? Also, out of the three major forms of legal organization, what would you go with?

4) Was there anything you think the author was wrong about? Where do you disagree with what she or he said? How?

I always find it hard to disagree or think something is wrong with what the author has said, especially when I'm the one learning this stuff. I will say this chapter has a lot of straight forward facts, so I couldn't really disagree to those.
