Passage – 1 (Q1 – Q10)

Directions: read the following passage carefully and mark the correct answer from the multiple choices given below for each question under the passage.

Software and intellectual property have come a long way to provide new dimensions to the markets. For a firm to be satisfied with the performance and functionality of an existing product was to risk losing market share to a competitor that targeted the same market. The nature of competition in the industry has been such that, if there is a perceived market for a particular software product, “someone will build it, and someone else will, as well” said Harry C. Reinstein, Chairman and chief executive officer of the Aion Corp.

While many software firms were aware of what intellectual property protection applied to software primarily trade secret law and corporate law, the actions of most of the firms suggested that legal concerns rarely entered into product – development decisions. The collective behavior of firms served to achieve the constitutional aim on which intellectual property law is based;” to

promote the progress of science and the useful arts” more specifically, the software industry achieved the intent of intellectual property law, that is, to advance the public good an objective widely interpreted to mean the generation and wide dissemination of ideas and innovations.

Today’s legal ferment indicates that software firms are much more attuned to intellectual property issues. And why not? Copyright law and patent law exists to encourage innovation. Both award limited monopolies to those who invest their resources, effort and ingenuity in developing products that society may deem useful. Thus intellectual property law offers the potential for private financial gain as an incentive for undertaking the risks of innovation.

To Francis D. Fisher, advisor to the educational technology group at the Harvard Law School concerns that the innovation in software will diminish without strong intellectual property protection seem at odds with the industry’s historically high rate of innovation. “It is not enough to suggest that the incentive of monopoly is needed.’’ Fisher maintained, “We need evidence. We need to shift the burden of proof, so that those who believe that the public interest gains from extending property rights to software must prove their case.” Among those who believe this case in unproven is Richard Stallman, whose Free Software Foundation and League for Programming Freedom provide a test of his conviction that innovation is best served absent prices based on commercial monopoly.

While Fisher may be unconvinced of the need to accord strict intellectual property rights to software, the perception that software is vulnerable to abuses by competitors and users is wide spread. Firms trying to position themselves in the market to earn returns on their investment often devote considerable thought to protection strategies.

1) Does Francis D Fisher consider intellectual property rights important for growth and development of software?

a) Yes, as software does not require intellectual property.b) Yes, software growth is possible only through monopolies.c) Yes, strong intellectual property regime is not a requirement for software

innovation.d) Yes, software patents are required for giving impetus to innovation in this field.

2) What does Harry C. Reinstein contemplate about software market?a) Market of particular software determines the nature of competition.b) Competition in software development may determine the market.c) Software development and market has no relationship.d) None of the above.
