Answer:

The answer is a. The "invention" sought to be patented is actually a living creature.

Explanation:

That is the answer. Because by the law, you actually "CAN" patent a living creature or an organism that you invented and that does not exist naturally.

So, a patent application CAN NOT be denied on the grounds that the invention is a living thing.

However, if a plant or any organism exists in nature and has reproduced, then it cannot be patented. Because then it has become a natural occurrence. This is a stern limitation and a criteria put on patents for living organisms.

Patenting living organism such as anti bacteria and bacteria is common in pharmaceutical industry while patenting unique seed types are common in agricultural sector.

Difference between authority and responsibility​
Orlov [11]

Answer:

An authority is a power to give orders and ask your subordinates to perform certain duties. Authority can be given to a person by government’s executives, owner of an organization, or by the representatives of GOD.

An authority is a legitimate power to influence people to compel them to perform the task given to them. For example, a mob has the power to punish a criminal, but they don’t have legitimate authority to punish the criminal.

The authority lies in the hands of the law. Similarly, in an organization, the authority lies in the hands of a manager to get organizational tasks accomplished by his subordinates.

However, the authority of the manager is limited to a particular department of the organization. He has no authority on his employees outside the organization.

Authority is the consequence of the position of an individual in an organization. A person can only be at the superior position of the organization if he has authority; a person with no authority can never be on the top position of an organization.

Therefore, the degree of authority is highest at the top level, and its degree keeps on decreasing the levels of the organization. That means only a person at the top level can give orders to the people at a low level and can compel them to perform tasks given to them, and a person at lower level can’t give orders to the people at the top or his peers.

Authority can be of two types such as official authority (where authority is given to a person by the organization he works for), and other is a personal authority (where authority is given to a person because of his ability to influence people in the organization.

What is the Responsibility?

Being responsible

Responsibility is a moral duty or an obligation of an employee, whether he is a manager or subordinate to fulfill the task given to them. The responsibility starts as soon as the job is assigned to the employee and finish with the completion of the task.

The person is responsible for the consequence of his performance in the task. The responsibility comes with authority.

A manager is responsible for the accomplishment of the task. The responsibility moves upwards in the organization from a lower level of employees to the upper level of management.

The responsibility is originated from the superior-subordinate relationship in an organization. Because of this relationship, the manager can do a task from his subordinates with responsibility.

Difference between authority and responsibility

AUTHORITY RESPONSIBILITY

An authority is a power or right that a person gets because of his designation, role, or job. A responsibility is an obligation that an employee has to fulfill the work bestowed on him

An authority is the outcome of a formal position in an organization. A responsibility is the outcome of a superior-subordinate relationship.

An authority is a legal right given to a person. A responsibility is consequence of authority.

It is a delegation of authority. It is an assumption of responsibility.

The flow of authority is from the upper level to lower level. The flow of authority is from lower level to upper level.

Authority requires the ability to give orders. Responsibility requires the ability to follow orders.

The authority lasts for a long period of time. The responsibility ends as soon as the work bestowed on the employee is complete.

The objective of the authority is to make decisions and implement them effectively. The objective of responsibility is to perform duties effectively assigned by the superiors.
