BUS: Need a case study on intellectual property

For the Unit VIII Case Study, research specific intellectual property theft incidents as well as standards and guidelines to prevent intellectual property theft.

Choose two specific incidents of intellectual property theft from your research. Each incident must have occurred within the last 5 years. Your specific incidents may range from patent infringement and corporate espionage to theft by cyberattack or even theft of information by a disgruntled employee. At least one incident must involve a company doing business internationally. Do not use any of the examples from the unit lesson. When choosing your incidents, be sure that enough information is available to meet the assignment requirements. Specifically, include the following details for both incidents:

a brief description of the selected case of intellectual property theft,

a discussion of the existing security protocols in the organization prior to the event, 

• an analysis of the organization’s response and changes made after the incident, and
• a discussion of the legal and ethical issues involved in the security breach.
