...done by Normandale. Also I will talk about what was caused to Mathis by Normandale. Which in turn I will talk about whether or not it was ethical of Normandale to sell the knockoff Mathis’ product. Was it ethical for Normandale to sell the alleged knock-off products at a lower price? Explain. No, it was not ethical that Normandale sold knock-off products at any price. This should have not have happened under any circumstances. For Normandale to take someone’s idea and hard work and to send it to a competitor of Mathis was not a good look for them. That is not a good look for anybody that think that is ok to do when it isn’t. Then for Normandale to tell CLA to take the product and make a “fake” version was so wrong on many level. Normandale should have not done that. Normandale also sold this “fake” version for a lower price making a profit of nearly $3 million. Which in all it is unacceptable for Normandale and CLA to do this. What federal or state laws protect owners of intellectual property? How do they apply here? Explain. Intellectual property law is a rule for making sure that the legal rights to your inventions, designs, and artistic works. Trademarks and patents help protect the product of which the inventor has made. This can help out big in the long run. The federal and state laws protect owners of intellectual property. They apply here because Mathis, Inc. was able to protect their product and get what was rightfully theirs in the end by suing Normandale. What...

...AND MANAGEMENT1 Leadership and Management Ayanna G Hawkins Argosy University Atlanta Professor Tebao March 11, 2015 Abstract Intellectual property is any product of the human intellect that the law protects from unauthorized use by others. The ownership of intellectual property inherently creates a limited monopoly in the protected property (Cornell University Law School, 2012). There are four categories that make up intellectual property. These include copyright, trademark, trade secrets and patent. There are numerous situations where intellectual property is compromised by users that do not follow guidelines regarding patent and trademark. In this paper, I will discuss how Normandale violated patent and trademark laws, while compromising their ethical and social responsibility. Introduction The legal system affords specific constitutional rights and safeguards for proprietors of property. Intellectual property (IP) includes creations used in commerce, such as inventions, works or art and literature, symbols and designs, and names and images (World Intellectual Property Organization, n.d.). The American Intellectual Property Law Association (AIPLA, 2015) explained that “federal patent, trademark and copyright laws and state trade secret laws” (para. 1) are the basis of IP protections and rights of owners. The AIPLA (2015) also noted, “In general, patents protect inventions of tangible...

...Inc. is a designer and manufacturer of women’s clothing and specializes in high-end women’s winter fashions. Normandale, a retailer, sells high-end products in malls throughout the country. With Mathis’s high costs, Normandale is unable to make a profit from the sale of Mathis’s products. Countess Lori-Ann (CLA) is a Mathis competitor. Normandale sends photographs and samples of the Mathis line to CLA and instructs them to make an identical line at a lower price. Mathis labels are easily discernable in the photographs and the samples have the Mathis label attached. CLA copies the Mathis line for Normandale. CLA sells the clothing to Normandale at a low price allowing Normandale to sell the products for a total gross profit of nearly $3 million, an increase of nearly 50% over its sale of Mathis products. Mathis discovers that Normandale is selling counterfeit products, and sends several cease-and-desist letters to them—to no avail. Mathis then sues Normandale alleging Normandale has engaged in illegal conduct. Normandale counters that it did nothing wrong. Research business law in regard to protection of intellectual property using your textbook, the Argosy University online library resources, and the Internet. Based on the facts of the case and research, write an analytical paper.

Normandale buys Mathis Inc.’s clothing but cannot seem to make a profit selling the expensive clothing. Nornamdale hires Countless Lori-Ann, Mathis’ competitor, to make an identical line of clothing at a lower cost than Mathis Inc. Samples and photographs with the labels from Mathis Inc. are sent to CLA for them to make an identical line. CLA copies the line of clothing and sells clothing to Normandale. Normandale makes a total gross profit of $3 million, a fifty percent increase over its sale of the actual Mathis Inc. clothing line. Mathis Inc. sends Normandale a few cease-and-detest letters with no response. Eventually, Mathis Inc. sues Normandale. This paper will discuss the ethical aspect of selling knock off products at a lower price and the federal and state laws that can protect owners of intellectual property. Also discussed, will be the damages that Mathis Inc. has suffered due to Normandale’s actions. The differing views on social responsibility of corporations will be compared and contrasted along with this paper. A code of ethics that Normandale can implement will be discussed too.

...“Tartuffe Reaction Paper” A few weeks ago I was lucky to see one of Normandale Theatre Department’s Productions of “Tartuffe”, the famous comedy by the French author Jean-Baptiste Poquelin, widely known by his stage name Moliere. It was my first experience of this kind at Normandale, and I was quite impressed by the level of dedication, professionalism and talent of everyone involved in the production. Because the characters were so well presented to the audience, we had a great understanding of the purpose of each person in the play. The two characters that impressed me the most were Dorine- the maid, was played by incredible Katrina Radcliffe, and of course, Tartuffe, who was played by Bryce Jasper. The energy that the two have is absolutely incredible, and I think every one of us in the audience received the exact message the cast was sending. Dorine is quiet an outspoken being, which never misses and opportunity to say what she thinks out loud and make sure that people around her know how she feels about a particular subject. From the very beginning she reveals her somewhat outlandish character. IN Act one, Scene One she tries to convince mother of Orgon, Madame Pernell, that Tartuffe is a hypocrite and a liar, who is taking advantage of the whole family in the most senseless way. Towards the end of the scene Dorine snaps at Madame Pernell, insisting that the woman is seeking attention and respect, therefore she is defending Tartuffe, and trying to force the family agree...

...In the book, Steingraber explains that investing in green energy will help prevent cancer, since synthetic chemicals linked to cancer come mostly from petroleum and coal. Saving the planet then becomes a matter of saving ourselves. The science in the text strengthens the case for banning poisons now pervasive in our air, our food, our water and our bodies. In this second edition of Living Downstream, Steingraber describes her experience of watchful waiting, the process of making a film adaptation and the latest scientific developments in the field of environmental cancer research. These developments are outlined in “six clear trends that have emerged in our understanding of the environment’s contribution to cancer.” Steingraber goes on to explain her personal and professional reasons for feeling hopeful, including the following two facts: First, we can do something about the environment’s influence on human cancer (unlike our genes, which we cannot alter). Second, the synthetic chemicals connected to cancer are largely derived from petroleum and coal; therefore, with investments in green energy we will investment in cancer prevention. The foreword concludes with the story of the “de-normalization” of smoking and a passionate call for the same precautionary approach to other known and suspected carcinogens. I myself do not smoke, but I am a victim of second hand smoke directly, because my mother smokes and has since I was born, (that is 22 years of second hand smoke). The...

...Brendan Miller 4-28-12 Prof. Odock Microeconomics The Welfare System Enabling Poverty Thirty seven million people residing on our “land of opportunity” have fallen below the poverty line, and our efforts have produced little improvement to poverty. The U.S. citizens can’t ignore the poverty issue, but should determine the best plan of action that would produce most positive outcomes on poverty. Proof that our efforts are producing a positive outcome would be displayed with statistics, which displays significant reductions in poverty population, when comparing the current years to past ones. While attempting to reduce the amount of the poverty population, the government must be sure to maintain the poverty line, so that the people of poverty don’t suffer any harsher effects, than they have already experienced today. Unfortunately, the U.S. has been fighting a war on poverty for over 50 years, and hasn’t produced the improvements they had hoped. Above all we have to consider that the welfare’s assistance maybe creating a behavioral-dependence on the governments financial assistance, that decreases the likelihood of a recipient from moving-up in financial class, and increases likelihood of being on welfare long-term. We need to investigate whether our welfare system is truly helping poor population, or whether changes are necessary to rectify system. By the government focusing their attention to reducing the behavioral-dependence on the financial assistance programs...

...Constitutionality of flag burning and my feelings about this symbolic act On June 14, 1777, the United States flag was born in Philadelphia, PA which was the capitol of the United States. As a symbol of the patriot’s idea of the Nation conceived in Liberty, the flag was a sign of freedom and justice in the United States of America. The American flag was sometimes called Old Glory also. Between 1897-1932, forty eight state laws were established for banning the desecrating of the United States flag. Immediately following the civil war, the American Flag was being threatened by at least two fronts. The first was by white southerners that wanted the Confederate flag as the American Flag and the second was by businesses that wanted to use the flag for commercial advertising. In response to these threats, forty eight states passed laws The U. S. Supreme Court’s first ruling on Flag Desecration was in 1907. The statues prohibited the following: marking, defacing, using in commercial advertising, and showing “contempt” by publicly burning, trampling, spitting on, showing lack of respect for the U. S. Flag. In Halter v. Nebraska in 1907, this ruling was upheld by the U. S. Supreme Court as Constitutional. In 1968, a Federal Government Flag Desecration law was passed by Congress due to the incident in Central Park where a peace activist decided to burn an American Flag to protest against the Vietnam War. The law banned anyone that demonstrated “Contempt”...

...White Paper Rate Optimization: Enhancing Your Hotel’s Pricing Strategy For many hotels, developing effective pricing strategies remains a complex issue for revenue managers. Their goal, ultimately, is to maximize companywide revenue and profits while building strong hotel partner relationships within their marketplace. The emergence of rate optimization has made strides to demystify pricing practices and help revenue managers understand the demand characteristics of their products, understand the price sensitivity of demand and design a rate spectrum that is tuned to all these. This allows hoteliers to take full advantage of their business opportunities, ensuring that they are capturing the maximum revenue at all times through an optimized rate spectrum. Beyond the scope of regular revenue management practices such as selecting the correct overbooking, rate restrictions and best available rate, lies the challenge of selecting the correct rates to choose from in the first place. Rate Optimization is the practice of selecting the rates offered in a rate spectrum based on the historical price sensitivity of demand. The goal of rate optimization is to understand the demand characteristics of products and the price sensitivity of demand and define a rate spectrum that will capture the maximum revenue over time.

...Abstract In 2003 the Government’s recommendations for the introduction of solid food to babies changed from four months to six months. Many parents continue to introduce solid food earlier than six months despite being aware of the recommendations. Delivering key messages about weaning has always been a part of the health visitors role. However, no formal, evidence based weaning intervention is currently being promoted to health visitors and advice continues to be communicated at the discretion of individual practitioners. Very little research exists on this topic, much emphasis has been placed on encouraging breast feeding as the main focus infant nutrition literature. Yet childhood obesity is on the rise and establishing healthy eating habits as a baby could pave the way for healthy eating habits later in life. This paper looks at the ways professionals communicate general messages about weaning and attempts to provide some clarity and guidance for health visitors about a humanistic intervention to educate parents about the benefits of waiting till six months, rather than using ‘scare tactics’ as to what could happen if they wean earlier. It is hoped that not only will this paper provide guidance about best practice, it will also highlight the importance of the subject and the pressing need for urgent research on the specific topic of delivering weaning advice.
