Research and discuss a company’s trademark that has been awarded protection by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office. You may select the company that you work for, or a company you aspire to work for. You’re welcome to select one simply from a company you admire or that intrigues you in any way. Have fun making a choice.

Describe the trademark, its application (e.g., does it cover merchandise, a service, a website … what does the mark relate to?). Was there any objections or litigation surround the trademark application or award? If so write about that. Do you believe there is a risk of infringement? Are there international IP implications? What other interesting information surrounded its application or award? In [too?] many cases, it’s not so simple as designing a mark and completing governmental documents, so help your classmates learn about the complicated, challenging process of filing for and attaining IP protection from the U.S. government.

Identify one EULA that you have entered into. We are each parties to many of them, whether from an application, mobile app, software or hardware (printers, for example, include EULAs). In your Initial Post, describe the EULA or provide a link to it (many are quite long, so copy-paste may burden the Discussion), making sure that others can access it for review. Discuss at least two terms or clauses in the contract that are vague, and give at least two possible interpretations of each. How might the interpretations favor the manufacturer/vendor/owner of the product or service covered under the EULA? How might they favor you as the consumer?

We learn from our readings that the use of mobile devices in our society today has indeed become ubiquitous.  In addition, CTIA asserted that over 326 million mobile devices were in use within The United States as of December 2012 – an estimated growth of more than 100 percent penetration rate with users carrying more than one device with notable continues growth.  From this research, it’s evident that mobile computing has vastly accelerated in popularity over the last decade due to several factors noted by the authors in our chapter reading. In consideration with this revelation, identify and name these factors, and provide a brief discussion about them.
