I have an assignment due on Sunday. The assignment is to write about an article. The teacher provided us with 6 articles and we have to chose one and write about it. I will provide you with all the articles and the sample letter with the instructions.
Teacher’s instructions:
I’ve attached an article from the San Francisco Gate. If I was using this article to write an article assignment, here is an outline of what the assignment would look like:
The first paragraph would be a summary of the article. I’d talk about the way Apple is trying to keep the term iPad from becoming genericized. I’d explain what that means and what are the consequences of a trademark becoming genericized. My next sentence(s) would talk about a couple of examples, such as aspirin and how other companies such as Xerox fought against genericization.
My next paragraph would hold the analysis for this assignment. I’d be focusing on the chapter about Intellectual Property and would cite that chapter. I’d define a trademark (citing the page) and what it means if a company holds a trademark. Next, I would take the facts of aspirin and show how there can be no lawsuit if another company uses the word aspirin and would contrast that with what Xerox and Apple are doing to protect their trademarks. My concluding sentence would definitely indicate that this is about millions of dollars and whatever else seems appropriate.
I hope this helps, MS
P.S. No, you may not use this article in your assignment 🙂
I have included a 4 articles to chose one and I also added a sample article too.
