Fоr questiоns 24 – 25, pleаse refer tо the following pаssаge: Michael Jennings is a “reverse engineer” whose business is to buy a product and then reverse-engineer it to find out how it works. Once a job is complete, Michael’s memory is erased by Shorty to prevent him from divulging secrets regarding the reverse engineering process. ARC has recently put on the market a “living monitor” called “A-life” that can display images on a computer display or monitor in three dimensions (3D). Allcom hires Jennings to reverse engineer the A-Life product. Jennings purchases ARC’s A-Life monitor from a store and eventually determines the complicated algorithms and functionality needed to generate A-Life’s 3D images. Jennings passes on the technical details to Allcom, which never had access to the software code, and Jennings is paid a lump sum $526,000.19 paycheck for his work. Allcom eventually begins to sell its holo-monitor, which incorporated similar functions as A-Life’s product performed. Unbeknownst to Allcom, ARC had filed for a U.S. patent prior to Jennings’ reverse-engineering success. The now-issued, valid U.S. patent literally claimed every element of the methods used in Allcom’s product.
