supply chain within the communities where the company operates. Coca-Cola’s approach to sustainable agriculture is based on the principles of protecting the environment and upholding rights, as well as helping in building more sustainable communities. To meet the company 's expectations and that of its stakeholders, it would be essential to maintain a sustainable and secure supply of agricultural ingredients that define the company 's brands. Another trade policy that currently affects the company is the Artwork, Labeling and Intellectual Property regulations (Albaum, G., &Tse, D. K., 20016). The Coca-Cola Company puts a high value on its intellectual property and other organizations ' intellectual property rights. The policy protects and acknowledges the rights of the company’s suppliers (Albaum, G., &Tse, D. K., 20016). Additionally, the policy provides a vehicle known as the Artwork Assessment Agreement for assessing any intellectual property developed by the suppliers on behalf of the company. One of the major factors impacting the future operations of the Coca-Cola Company is stiff competition from the rival companies (Zhavoronkov, 2016). The competition appears to be a primary factor in the current global market, and the nonalcoholic beverage industry tends to be very competitive on the global scale (Zhavoronkov, 2016). Coca-Cola 's current main competitor is PepsiCo, which appears to be in every place where Coke is available. Additionally, the fact the…

It makes it stand out more as well as adding quotes or stories. Anderson excelled in using quotes. He used the quotes from different people in his paper. One quote in his article that really stuck out to me was a quote by Sonny Bunch that stated, “The purpose of intellectual property created by artists so they are rewarded for their efforts. The purpose of intellectual property law is to punish people who steal that which isn’t theirs.” (661) It gives an overview of what the author’s opinion is…

Licensing is uncertain because intellectual property protection may not be available in every country, and domain name regulations may not protect the company’s trademarks and other proprietary rights (Groupon). Consequently, the company may not be able to prevent third parties from acquiring and using similar domain names and registering its trademarks. Thus, third parties that license the company’s intellectual property rights may diminish the value of the company’s proprietary rights or…

Given the past two examples, the case could be made that the DMCA is broken, simply because the creators of the intellectual property do not seem to be as protected as the people who are potentially infringing, or that companies like YouTube can have others work on their site, simply by claiming it isn’t their fault. This is not true. In fact, the DMCA often protects copyright holders work. MGM Studios, Inc. v. Grokster is a perfect example of this. In 2005, a small conglomeration of…

The creative industries are defined by three components: “[one,] human creativity; [two], they are vehicles for symbolic messages…and [three], they contain… some intellectual property that belongs to an individual or a group” (Davies and Sigthorsson, 1). The fast…

According to Deborah G. Johnson, in the case of Franklin v. Apple, Franklin copied Apples operating code without any alterations, this was a clear copyright infringement act. However, these cases aren’t always obvious, that’s where fair use comes in and is disputed in the federal courts. There are four factors of fair use and a fifth, unofficial factor. According to Rich Stim, the first factor is: The Purpose and Character of Your Use. The court will examine if the material taken from the…

appropriately borrowing someone’s work. As perfect as his suggestion sounds, his beliefs are impractical. I do agree that original work no longer exists; however, I believe that his idea of transforming someones work without acknowledging the creator cannot work in today’s society. Nobody is willing to give up their ideas without receiving credit; we all want a compensation for our creations, as we should. His belief of transforming someone’s work is too idealistic and will fail in today’s…
