Week 5 Reading Reflection

Howdy! Here is week 5's reading reflection on chapter 9:

1. What was the biggest surprise for you in the reading? In other words, what did you read that stood out the most as different from your expectations? 
• Nothing was really surprising for me in the reading as I am already interested in the legality of intellectual property (and other legal topics), but it was interesting to see it applied directly to entrepreneurship as opposed to criminal justice topics.
2. Identify at least one part of the reading that was confusing to you.
• I felt like this entire section was pretty straightforward.  There was not anything I found confusing.
3. If you were able to ask two questions to the author, what would you ask? Why?
• If you could create a patent for anything (already patented or not patented), what would it be?
• I would ask this because a lot of good ideas have already been patented and I would want to know what his "missed opportunity" would be.
• What are your thoughts on the patenting of particular lines of code in programming projects?
• This question is pretty specific, but there are a lot of arguments about the validity of patenting code as there are only so many ways one can make a section of code perform one task.
4. Was there anything you think the author was wrong about? Where do you disagree with what she or he said? How?
• Since a lot of the information in this section was factual and not based on the author's opinion, there is nothing that I thought the author was wrong about and nothing I disagreed with in particular.
