Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: B

Sarah is guilty under copyright laws because pleading ignorance of copyright infringement is not an excuse.

What is copyright?

A copyright is a form of intellectual property, which secures to its holder the exclusive right to produce copies of his or her works of original expression, such as a literary work, movie, musical work or sound recording, painting, photograph, computer program, or industrial design, for a defined, yet extendable, period of time. It does not cover ideas or facts. Copyright laws protect intellectual property from misuse by other individuals.

I'm not so sure about that. I remember something about utility models being similar but not quite the same.

I've got a good feeling about A, patent. The description of exclusive rights granted by the state for an invention seems to fit what I know about patents. I'll go with that unless I can think of a better option.

Okay, let me think this through. The question is asking about exclusive rights granted by the state to an inventor. That sounds like it's describing a patent, so I'll go with A.

Hmm, I'm a little unsure about this one. I know patents have to do with inventions, but I'm not totally clear on the details. Maybe I should review my notes on intellectual property before answering.

I'm pretty confident the answer is Azure Spot virtual machine instances. That sounds familiar from the Azure pricing and cost optimization module we covered.

I'm surprised 'snooping' is even an option. That's like asking what type of fruit is a screwdriver. Patent is clearly the right answer here.

Patent, no doubt about it. I mean, why would they give an inventor exclusive rights for copyright or a utility model? That's just nonsensical.
