Instructions
Based on the Unit V REM Case Study Scenario, which was the reading homework for this unit, research specific intellectual property theft incidents as well as standards and guidelines to prevent intellectual property theft. This is a two-part homework.
For Part A of this homework, 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. 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 homework requirements. Specifically, include the following details for both incidents:
1) a brief description of the selected case of intellectual property theft,
2) discussion of the existing security protocols in the organization prior to the event,
3) analysis of the organization's response and changes made after the incident, and
4) discussion of the legal and ethical issues involved in the security breach.
For Part B of the homework, research standards and guidelines to prevent theft of intellectual property. Propose two standards or guidelines for REM to help prevent the types of intellectual property theft that you covered in your two incidents in Part A of this homework (i.e., one specific guideline for each incident above). A complete set of intellectual property standards and guidelines for a multinational corporation would not fit within the scope of this homework, which is why you are only asked to propose two specific guidelines.
Format your homework according to the following formatting requirements:
(1) The answer should be typed, double spaced, using Times New Roman font (size 12), with one-inch margins on all sides.
(2) The response also includes a cover page containing the title of the homework, the student's name, the course title, and the date. The cover page is not included in the required page length.
(3) Also include a reference page. The Citations and references should follow APA format. The reference page is not included in the required page length.
