1. Please respond to this student. Thanks
2.  Take the self-assessment at the end of module/commentary Five and share which one question/answer highlighted a point that was most compelling to you. Provide your rationale for your answer. 

The question/answer from week 5 that highlighted a point that was compelling to me was question 7.

Question – Rosenberg describes 11 benefits of e-learning. Identify at least five of them.

Answer – According to Rosenberg, e-learning offers the following benefits:

• lowers costs
• enhances business responsiveness
• provides consistent or customized messages, depending on need
• supplies timely and dependable content
• allows people to learn 24/7
• eliminates user “ramp-up” time
• has universality
• builds community
• offers scalability
• leverages the corporate investment in the Web
• provides an increasingly valuable customer service

I loved the answer to this question for a few reasons. As a student who has taken online classes for most of my associate’s degree and all of my bachelor’s degree I am very used to and educated on e-learning. I think e-learning is amazing! People always think I am crazy or not as smart for taking online classes instead of going to college at a well-known big university. I always try to explain to them these points about why online has SO many benefits. So I was very happy to read this answer. It is all so accurate. As technology advances and grows things are becoming a lot more online and web based. E-learning is a great thing for more reasons that just the convenience of it. If it wasn’t beneficial there would not be colleges that are offered completely online.

The Cincinnati and Dayton Metropolis has become a popular destination for craft beer fans and

many craft breweries are flourishing. Two friends and former research biologists (John and Mark) decided to get in on the action. John and Mark have brewed together continuously for personal consumption over a 15-year period. They spent significant sums on perfecting their recipes and many trips to supplier locations and breweries in other cities. They are extremely passionate about using local ingredients and blending science and art to produce a high-quality product.

Based on their experience and passion, John and Mark formed a nano-brewery in a Northern Cincinnati suburb, known as Turtle Creek Brewing Co. (“Turtle Creek”). While Turtle Creek offered the styles of beer available at other craft breweries, they believe that their beers stood out and that there was a sufficient market in the area.

Only John and Mark are currently engaged in brewing. They do not permit employees to participate in the brewing process. However, on occasion, John and Mark permit family and friends to be on-site when they brew. During those occasions, the ingredients are separated into pre-sorted, non- descript containers. Turtle Creek’s employees serve beer in the tap room and are educated generally on the ingredients and flavor profiles but not on the specific ingredients or the amounts used. Turtle Creek, however, was very proud of their use of hops, which is one of the key ingredients, from local suppliers and publicly disclosed their use of and support for local hop farmers.

MEMORANDUM

MEMO: RE: DATE: PAGE:

Turtle Creek’s recipes were not posted publicly. However, certain other local brewers do post recipes on-line. See, e.g., www.madtreebrewing.com. Turtle Creek’s recipes are kept in a file cabinet in John and Mark’s office at the brewery, which is in the back of the brewery, and not in an area to which patrons normally have access. Turtle Creek employees do not normally enter John and Mark’s office but on occasion are asked to retrieve something from the office.

Turtle Creek was well-received by local beer fans. People loved the beer but Turtle Creek was limited by its initial location, which did not have sufficient space and parking to meet the demand. Therefore, after two years at their initial location, Turtle Creek decided to move into a new location, which would allow them to increase their production 10 fold. This location would also give them the ability to bottle beer and sell it to wholesalers and retailers. With the increased production, Turtle Creek’s owners are going to need to permit other employees to be involved in the brewing process.

Turtle Creek has asked our firm for legal advice on whether its recipes are entitled to trade secret protection and how to protect those recipes moving forward. Please prepare a strategy memo. Your strategy memo (8 pages) should (1) analyze whether Turtle Creek’s recipes are likely to receive trade secret protection; and (2) provide ongoing advice with Turtle Creek’s impending move in mind for protecting the recipes from disclosure. For the strategy memo, please do not do any additional fact research. However, you will need to research Ohio trade secret law. Additionally, please attach a draft non- disclosure agreement (NDA) for use with the employees charged with brewing beers for Turtle Creek.

Also explain in the memo the restatement factors of trade secret, not generally known, reasonable secrecy, economic value, what should they do to protection the prodect in trade secret and how they can secure the access.
