B)A license
C)A trade secret
D)A trademark
E)A claim-right

Accepted Answer

A license would allow the Japanese manufacturer to legally manufacture and sell the American organization's brand of baseball bats in Japan, under an agreement between the two companies. A patent would protect the American organization's specific design or technology for the baseball bats, but would not necessarily allow the Japanese company to sell the exact same product. A trade secret would protect confidential information about how the American organization manufactures the baseball bats, but would not necessarily allow the Japanese company to use that information to manufacture and sell the bats. A trademark would protect the specific brand name or logo of the baseball bats, but would not necessarily allow the Japanese company to manufacture and sell the bats themselves. A claim-right is not a recognized legal term in this context.
