Savant Homes, Inc., is a custom home designer and builder. Using what it called the Anders Plan, Savant built a model house in W

indsor, Colorado. This was a ranch house with two bedrooms on one side and a master suite on the other, separated by a combined family room, dining room, and kitchen. Ron and Tammie Wagner toured the Savant house. The same month, the Wagners hired builder Douglas Collins and his firm, Douglas Consulting, to build a house for them. After it was built, Savant filed a lawsuit in a federal district court against Collins for copyright infringement, alleging that the builder had copied the Anders Plan in the design and construction of the Wagner house. Collins showed that the Anders Plan consisted of standard elements and standard arrangements of elements. In these circumstances, has infringement occurred? Explain.

Answer and Explanation:

There is no copyright infringement here. Savant homes had not taken a copyright protection for the design prior to this time. Also in the case it was found that the design is not in fact a unique design by Savant homes as it is used widely and was common before savant homes used it. And so it was a dummy model for everyone to copy from. Therefore the infringement was considered invalid as there was no ground for savant homes to claim it as am intellectual property

Share an example from your life where you had to make a choice knowing that you are giving up opportunities for doing or gaining
Alik [6]

Explanation:

I would have to give up my dream of getting an economics degree because I felt that an economics degree would give me a more stable future. My parents always believed that, after finishing my education, I should pursue my acting career.

I'd make another choice, since I'm happy with my job now. If I choose to perform, I should have struggled a lot.

Consumers C make decisions because each action has a risk cost. You can't do two things at the same time and must choose one.

Individual producers / nations must choose what they are to produce, how they are to produce and how much they are to produce, as their resources are limited and their alternatives are being applied.

Karolina [17]
You should never read directly from the presentation aid. You should only look and use it when it’s relevant so it shows yk what you are doing and you aren’t just reading it. You should use a font that’s clear and easy to read. You should also use the same font on all your slides. Example: visual aids such as graphs, maps and diagrams.
