Assignment: Reflect on the assigned readings for the week. Identify what you thought was the most important concept(s), method(s), term(s), and/or any other thing that you felt was worthy of your understanding.

Also, provide a graduate-level response to each of the following questions:

1. Sly Salesperson sells cars. While selling a car, Sly Salesperson tells the potential buyer that "this is the best car around. It's a great car and sips gas." The car has an average fuel rating. Has Sly Salesperson committed a misrepresentation? Fraud? Why or why not? Does the analysis change if Sly Salesperson says the car get 40 miles per gallon, but in fact the car only gets 30 miles per gallon?

2. What factors have courts considered when evaluating factual statements versus opinion-based statements? Could there still be liability for purely opinion-based statements?

3. Explain what the Robinson-Patman Act prohibits, what is required to show a violation, and what the defenses are.

4. Explain the differences in patents, copyrights, and trademarks, including the length of each and examples of each.

Respond to the post of at least two peers, using 100 words minimum each.

[Your initial post should be based upon the assigned reading for the week, so the textbook should be a source listed in your reference section and cited within the body of the text. Other sources are not required but feel free to use them if they aid in your discussion].

[Your initial post should be at least 450+ words and in APA format (including Times New Roman with font size 12 and double spaced). Post the actual body of your paper in the discussion thread then attach a Word version of the paper for APA review]

[Your post must be substantive and demonstrate insight gained from the course material. A peer response such as "I agree with her," or "I liked what he said about that" is not considered substantive and will not be counted for course credit. A blank post just to review other submissions will not be tolerated]
