You are an independent technical expert hired by ProdPro (Defendant), a project management software tool startup. You are analysing a copyright claim filed by BrainCo (Plaintiff), a legacy project management brainstorming software company. BrainCo claims that ProdPro infringed on their copyright by copying the “Look and Feel” and “Menu Command Hierarchy” of their user interface and the Template Suggestions feature of their software. You are preparing a preliminary opinion for ProdPro’s legal counsel.  Fact Sheet:  Source A (Lotus v. Borland, 1995): The Supreme Court let stand a ruling that a “menu command hierarchy” (the specific ordering of commands like File > Print) is a “method of operation”. Copyright law does not protect methods of operation, only expression. This ensures that users do not have to relearn how to operate software when switching products.  Source B (Apple Computer v. Microsoft Corp., 1993): The court ruled that “Scènes à faire” (standard scenes) applies to software. If a visual element (like a trash can icon or a window) “necessarily flows from a commonplace idea,” it is not protected by copyright.  Source C (Merger Doctrine): When there is only one or a limited number of ways to express an idea, the expression is not protected because it has “merged” with the idea.  Exhibit A  (BrainCo – Plaintiff): Shows a navigation menu on the left side with the specific order: File > New > Upload > Share. The center screen features a standard folder list. The “Upload” button uses a generic “Cloud with Up-Arrow” icon The Template Suggestion feature is defined in the tool’s codebase as suggestTemplate(), that uses a Local Decision Tree that learns from the individual user’s own project history, meaning its suggestions evolve over time.   Exhibit B (ProdPro – Defendant): Shows a navigation menu on the left side with the exact same order: File > New > Upload > Share. The center screen also features a standard folder list. The “Upload” button uses a “Cloud with Up-Arrow” icon that is slightly more rounded.  The function that defines the template suggestion feature is called suggestTemplate(), and draws from a Static Template Dictionary (a fixed list of templates hard coded into the software) that never changes regardless of user behavior.   

(Yes, the Quiz will be on both Ch. 5 pt. 1 and Ch. 5 pt. 2 sources and content!)DIRECTIONS:Points Possible:  25 points (25 questions, at 1 point per question)Time Limit: 30 Minutes–you SHOULD prepare for the quiz prior to taking it, and not go into it blind/thinking you’ll have time to look up all the answers!!-Any questions not finished within the 30 minutes and/or by the 5:00 pm deadline will automatically be marked wrong.You will see your Grade: Immediately after submissionYou will see the questions you got right/wrong: 24 hours after due-date Guidelines for Quiz:Honorlock will be used in this class for ALL Chapter Quizzes.A working webcam will be required in connection with using Honorlock for ALL Chapter Quizzes.Students MUST agree to Honorlock’s Data Collection & Use terms and allow Honorlock to access their webcam and microphone for each quiz. -For Academic Integrity purposes, Quizzes cannot be taken/made-up after the quiz has closed for the class and the due-date has passed.Quiz will ask questions from:the Required Textbook Chapterthe 4 Required Primary Source Articles assigned for the chapterthe Required Instructional Source videos/mini-lectures/podcasts assigned for the chapterDuring Chapter Quizzes, Students MUST secure a quiet, distraction free space to take their Quiz. This includes:a private (non-public) spaceno background or ambient noiseno other people in the spaceno headphones/earbudsno hatsNO PHONES, no secondary laptops/tablets/monitors, or other tech devicesonce the Quiz starts, students are not allowed to pause the quiz or leave the space, and restroom breaks are not allowed. During Chapter Quizzes, students will NOT be permitted to: use other open web browser tabs (except for the allowed digital American Yawp textbook) use a 2nd screen or windowuse their phone or a secondary laptop/tablet/devicehave headphones or earbuds on (in ears or around neck) use any type of tech glasseshave any noise/music/taking/background soundshave other people nearby leave their computer or pause the quiz once they start the Quizuse Artificial Intelligence in any form (this includes AI browser extensions or overlays) During Chapter Quizzes, students WILL be permitted to:use the American Yawp Textbook and American Yawp Primary Source Reader (links will be allowed and provided within Honorlock’s settings once the Quiz starts)use their HANDWRITTEN notes they submitted in the connected Chapter Notes assignment (Notes must be written on standard spiral notebook or looseleaf notebook paper–8”x11”, 3-hole punched, lined paper)Before starting the Quiz, EACH page of notes (both front and back) must be held up and shown to the camera/proctor.  During the Room Scan step of the Honorlock initialization is when you should hold up each page of Notes. Just hold up each page of notes you plan to use, so they are visible to the camera/proctor. 2 Quiz Attempts, but only the FIRST Attempt Grade will be Counted:All quizzes have been set to allow students 2 attempts at submission within Blackboard. This is done to allow for students who might run into “technical difficulties” in the submission process. If something happens during their first attempt, they can simply go back and re-submit using their 2nd attempt.Students will then be expected to follow the “Tech Issues” procedure outlined in the syllabus/CLASS SUPPORT MODULE.However–this opportunity is NOT designed for students to try to improve on their work or get a better quiz grade on a second attempt, and within the attempt parameters I have set Blackboard to only accept the grade for the student’s first graded quiz attempt. Students who experience “technical difficulties” (wi-fi issues, computer crashes, etc…..) may still be subject to loss of a grade.
