Select the true statements regarding these legal concepts: a. Patents protect inventions, such as the way something works, with the invention design on file with the Patent Office for public review. They have no requirement to distribute and are very complicated. It is suggested to have a specialist lawyer to support filing. Patents last up to 19 years and provide the legal protection of suing if the invention is copied. b. Trade Secrets protect a secret competitive advantage, with no need for the Protected Object to be made public. There are no filing requirements and they have an indefinite duration. Trade Secrets provide the legal protection to sue if the secret is improperly obtained. c. None of the statements are true. d. Copyrights protect the expressions of an idea, not the idea itself. They require the protected object to be made public, as the intention is to promote publication. Copyrights are required to be distributed and are very easy to file. They last approximately 75-100 years depending on the country and provide the legal protection of suing if an unauthorized copy is sold.
