1.  Americаn Ingenuity, Inc., а Missоuri cоrpоrаtion, (AmI) invents, develops, and distributes a revolutionary new type of anti-bedbug device using sound waves.  AmI does not apply for a patent for its product, a sonic emitter called SleepTite, but does register various trademarks associated with it.  Maine Ingenuity Corp., a California corporation, (MaI), buys a new AmI SleepTite sonic emitter, takes it apart, analyzes it, and produces and sells a “clone” of the anti-bedbug device under the Maine Ingenuity Corp. label called SleepWell.  AmI files a suit against MaI alleging violations of the intellectual property law. On what basis could Maine Ingenuity Corp. (MaI) prevail?  What additional facts might result in AmI winning and why?  What if MaI used a logo similar to that of AmI’s federally registered trademark on the SleepTite device and its packaging?  AmI uses a red, white, and blue color pattern on its anti-bedbug devices.  MaI uses a similar design, but with somewhat different shades of red, white, and blue.  AmI sues.  Discuss.  AmI includes a detailed, printed set of instructions on the proper use and maintenance for its anti-bedbug, but does not register the instructions under federal copyright law.  MaI includes a pamphlet that is clearly based on that issued by AmI, with minor changes in wording.  AmI sues.  Discuss.  Why should AmI have registered the instructions under federal copyright law? Discuss whether AMI could/should have applied for a patent, and why it might have decided not to do so. Instead of MaI reverse-engineering the SleepTite device, a disgruntled AmI employee, Simon, uses his iPhone 14 to photograph all of the plans.  The plans were kept is a secure location with limited access, but Simon “borrowed” the security card of a co-worker with access to secure areas, to gain entry into the room where the plans were kept.  Simon gives the photos of the plans to MaI, which then goes on to produce its version of the device, the SleepWell.  What happens and why?
