Week 5 Reading Reflection

     For this week's assigned reading, I would say that what stood out to me the most was the concept of trade secrets. It was surprising to find out that certain business processes and information that cannot be patented, copyrighted or trademarked may still be protected as "trade secrets." One part of the reading that was confusing to me was the section on the process of obtaining a patent. I didn't quite understand why there was an aspect of examination and then also post-examination, and I would ask the author why those too are needed in the process. I would also ask the author if he/she considered the entrepreneurial process to be a parody or an infringement. Other than that, I did not consider this book's author to be wrong about anything.
