2/3/13 Class

Hey world,

Last Monday's class was very enjoyable. The professor spoke mostly about Copyrights and Trademarks. Trademarks are a right to a logo or symbol, for example "Microsoft" or "apple". While a Copyright can be a more more wide range of things. An example of a copyright would be the "CAL" cursive logo that UC Berkeley places on Athletic apparel.

We also learned about what a trade secret is. This is slightly confusing when taking about what is IP and what is not IP. Trade secrets however can be summarized into something a company or entity does that is complex and unique. This could be a way of doing business, a piece of a product, or anything "secret" having to do with a company's daily "tradings".

I must admit, these titles can be confusing to differentiate, as some of these titles seem to overlap. Hopefully some of you can clear this up for me below!
