As you should be well aware from the text readings (i.e., Jennings, pp. 485-511, and Emerson, pp. 587-597), there are a number of ways which can afford protection to business intellectual property. As your interests may (and probably do) vary, what follows provides you the opportunity to research a topic from a variety of those intellectual property arenas. Please answer the questions below.

Patents

Is it possible for a plaintiff in a patent infringement case to obtain an amount equivalent to a reasonable royalty? Can attorney's fees be awarded/recovered in a patent infringement case? Is there an additional remedy for infringement of a design patent? Can patent infringement occur by states and/or their officials? Provide the U.S.C. citation(s).

International Convention Protections:

The U.S. federal law provisions implementing the Madrid Protocol for trademark protection are found where? The U.S. federal law provisions implementing the Hague Agreement Concerning International Registration of Industrial Designs for patent protection are found where? Provide the U.S.C. citation(s).

Trade Secrets:

Find a state which has trade secret statutes, and then provide a brief synopsis of the protections/remedies it affords to/for trade secrets. Provide the state statutory citation(s). For me, Please use the state of California.
