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
