Ø In
2013 the US Patent procedure was changed to award the patent to the
“first to file” rather than the “first to invent.”
Discuss three points here:
1. Give a good argument for making it first to
“invent.”
2. Give a good argument for making it “first to
file.”
3. Tell me which method you think is the best to
encourage innovation and deployment of new products and services.
Ø Personal
strategy safari. Go out into the world and find a company that has
clearly grown recently due to an expansion effort.
1. Identify
and state the type of expansion in line with the Product-Market Growth Matrix.
2. Identify
the relevant information that supports your thinking on the expansion type and
3. Clearly identify the results of the growth. For example the type
of results that may support your conclusion could be revenue, units sold etc.
Ø Among all
of the trading strategies that we’ve discussed so far, is there any strategies
that guarantee 100% sure profit? Call options, Swaps, forward, futures
If “yes”, what is that strategy and how does that work?
If “no”, why such strategy does not exist?
Please answer each questions seperately.
