Answer to Question 1

Trademarks protect names, symbols, and other icons used to identify a company or
product. Trademarks can be registered with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office.
A trademark is valid indefinitely, as long as it is used and does not become a generic
name for the goods or services. The aim of trademark law is to prevent confusion
among consumers in a market with similar identifying names or symbols.

Trade secrets, as the name implies, protect company secrets, which can cover a wide
range of processes, formulas, and techniques. A trade secret is not registered and is
valid indefinitely, as long as it remains a secret. Although laws protect against the theft
of trade secrets, it is not illegal to discover a trade secret through reverse engineering.

Answer to Question 2

FALSE

People who have myopia, or nearsightedness, are not able to see objects at a distance but only up close. It occurs when the cornea is either curved too steeply, the eye is too long, or both. This condition is progressive and worsens with time. More than 100 million people in the United States are nearsighted, but only 20% of those are born with the condition. Diet, eye exercise, drug therapy, and corrective lenses can all help manage nearsightedness.
