Study Notes
Trademark History
- Makers of goods have been putting their names or other marks on their products since ancient times, such as medieval swords and ancient Chinese pottery, to identify their origin and quality.
- Trademarks were usually symbols or pictures rather than words before the 20th century, since many people could not read.
Trademark Case Involving Beer Bottle
- In the Philippines, a trademark case involved San Miguel Corporation, which has been manufacturing and selling beer since 1890, and has been using the words "San Miguel Pale Pilsen" with a rectangular Hops and Malt design trademark on its bottles.
- A competitor launched "Beer na Beer" with a bottle that was almost a replica of SMC's bottle, constituting unfair competition and misrepresenting a product as that of another.
iPhone Trademark Infringement
- In 2007, Cisco and Apple went through settlement talks over Apple's use of the iPhone name for its touchscreen music phone, as Cisco had a trademark for the iPhone name.
- Cisco sued Apple for trademark infringement when Apple made the iPhone announcement without resolution to the talks.
Trade Secrets
- Trade secrets consist of highly confidential and important nonpublic information about a company's inner structure, classified records, systems, future plans, or policies.
- If known by competitors, trade secrets could place the company at a competitive disadvantage.
Digital Video Recording
- Digital video recording records video to local storage devices, most commonly a hard drive.
- An example of digital video recording technology is the digital video disc (DVD).
Technology Piracy
- Technology piracy is the unauthorized use of patented or copyrighted work.
- It is tantamount to stealing a trademark or copyright, and is therefore illegal, immoral, and socially irresponsible.
Forms of Digital Piracy
- Pirate recordings are the unauthorized duplication of only the sound of legitimate recordings.
- Counterfeit recordings are unauthorized recordings of the prerecorded sound, as well as the unauthorized duplication of original artwork, label, trademark, and packaging.
- Bootleg recordings are unauthorized recordings of live concerts or musical broadcasts on radio or television.
- Online piracy is the unauthorized uploading of a copyrighted sound recording and making it available to the public, or downloading a sound recording from an internet site.
Bad Effects of Digital Piracy
- Digital piracy can lead to negative word of mouth about a company's products, causing loss of profits and brand equity.
- Buyers may be duped into buying cheap products with designer labels, only to find that they are fake and inferior to the real thing.
Counterfeiting
- Counterfeiting is a criminal offense of making an imitation of an article with intent to defraud others into accepting it as the genuine item.
Consumers as Victims
- Buyers are duped into buying cheap products with designer labels, only to find that they are fake and inferior to the real thing.
- Counterfeiting is a criminal offense of making an imitation of an article with intent to defraud others into accepting it as the genuine item.
Bribery and Extortion
- Extortion is any form of taking or obtaining property from another person by means of illegal compulsion or oppressive exaction.
- Bribery and extortion are illegal and morally accountable to God and society.
Effects of Bribery and Extortion
- Bribery can destroy or taint a company's reputation and undermine its license to operate.
- Bribes get built into the cost of goods and services, thus hurting consumers and taxpayers.
Corrupt Nations
- The Philippines is one of the most corrupt nations in Asia, with an annual per capita income of less than $1,500.
- Poorer countries are more inclined to corruption, fraud, bribery, and extortion.
Business Ethics
- Businesses can avoid conflict of interest by saying no to the giving or receiving gifts, payments, entertainment, or benefits that can influence a decision.
- Staff and rank-and-file employees should be trained to avoid conflicts of interest by reporting and assessing private interests that may conflict with their interests as employees.
Drivers of Bribery
- Experience shows that some public officials can be bought for a thousand bucks, and that bribery appears to be a common trend in the government and marketplace.
Bribery in Real Estate
- To expedite the processing of an application, real estate developers usually allocate some kind of "representation" budget for the various government agencies involved for the release of clearances and permits.
Social Responsibility and Culture
- There are universal values that should be respected.
- Bad practice should not be confused with culture.
- Companies should respect culture without sacrificing values.
- People want companies with strong CSR policies.
Bribery and Social Responsibility
- Bribery is immoral and socially irresponsible because it corrupts the economic system, upsets the orderly course of the industry, and prevents sellers from receiving equal entry into the market.
Case Study: Engineer Mendiola
- Engineer Mendiola's firm is negotiating a contract in another country and is told that it is an established and legal custom to give personal gifts to officials who are authorized to award contracts.
- The official informs him that no further work will be awarded to his firm without such gifts, but this condition will not be included in the contract.
