Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Telescopes Etc. Corporation is selling scopes with identical structures of lenses and mirrors without SUI's permission, which constitutes patent infringement. A patent is a form of intellectual property that gives the owner the exclusive right to exclude others from making, using, selling, or importing an invention for a limited period of time. Therefore, if Telescopes Etc. Corporation is making, using, selling, or importing telescopes with the same design as SUI's patented invention, it is infringing on SUI's patent rights. Copyright infringement is the unauthorized use of original works of authorship, such as literary, musical, or artistic works. Trademark infringement is the unauthorized use of a trademark or service mark in a way that is likely to cause confusion, deception, or dilution of the trademark owner's rights. Neither of these apply to the scenario described.
