Question

True or False: Igor is a brilliant chemist and one day decides to try to find out why Whipple Iced Tea tastes so good. Whipple advertises that it blends secret spices into its drink, and those secret spices are a closely guarded secret. The recipe is stored in a safe that is kept in a vault at the home office and is guarded by two former Special Forces soldiers at all times. Igor, after weeks of analysis, has discovered the recipe. Igor is guilty of misappropriation of the Whipple trade secret.

Answer 1

False

Step-by-step explanation:

Igor did nothing wrong. He performed a reverse engineering process which is totally legal. A reverse engineering process happens when a manufactured object is deconstructed in order to find out how it was designed or manufactured.

This process is very similar to scientific research, only that it is carried out on man made objects.
