I have to answer this question for my business law class. We have to look at the Starbucks vs Charbucks case and answer questions. This is one of them that I need help with please
1. Starbucks invests substantial resources into its theme of being a responsible company. On its Web site, the company announces that, "We've always believed that businesses can and should have a positive impact on the communities they serve."
a. How does that statement square with its strategy in the Charbucks litigation?
b. Is there any ethical conflict between a company's stated objectives to be a good corporate neighbor and its obligation to its stakeholders to protect its intellectual property? Do not provide just an opinion, but an opinion based upon your presented facts.
