Discuss three ways in which a company can protect it's Intellectual Property internationally.

Remember tailoring experts Frieda Oglesby, Rena Fitts, and Will Bertrand, who decided to go into business together? Their business, FitzWellby, is one that provides in-home measuring and fittings, and even on-site stitching, for busy executives who don't have time to take their clothing to tailor shops. The business was formed as a general partnership. Bob Strahan joined the partnership as a fourth general partner only one day before Bertrand inadvertently left a client's home unlocked while dropping off a garment; client Veronica Treadwell's home was subsequently robbed.

Treadwell prevails in the lawsuit she filed against FitzWellby; the three original individual partners are also deemed to be individually liable. Faced with the financial realities of this catastrophe, Oglesby, Fitts, Bertrand, and Strahan decide to dissolve the business.

•      What would have been the outcome of the Treadwell lawsuit for Oglesby and Fitts if FitzWellby had been a limited partnership, with Bertrand as the general partner?

•      What would be the distribution of the assets of FitzWellby, the general partnership?

•   How, if at all, would the distribution of assets be different if FitzWellby had been a limited partnership?

Harris, Pendleton, and McRae, certified public accountants, have operated their general partnership accounting firm since the 19 70s. Thom Harris is 68 years old, Lee Pendleton is 66, and Roberta McRae is 65. They have operated their partnership by way of an old-school approach, a handshake agreement, since their professional association was first formed (in spite of strong advice from legal counsel to the contrary).

Harris has been acting rather strange in recent months. Clients and support staff have been asking questions. Six weeks ago, Harris was discovered standing on top of his desk singing the 19 70s Rick Dees tune "Disco Duck," interspersing quacking sounds throughout his rendition of the disco classic. Harris no longer wears conservative business attire; instead, he has opted for a light blue leisure suit with white patent leather shoes. Currently, he can be found again standing on his desk, this time offering up his version of the 19 79 Sister Sledge anthem "We Are Family."

Pendleton and McRae are in the conference room considering their options and the future of their accounting business. They would like to terminate Harris's partnership, but they are unsure whether they have the legal right to do so. They are also struggling with the notion of an ethical obligation to try to work things out with Harris; after all, he has been their partner for over 30 years. Finally, they wonder whether they could end their professional relationship with Harris, without being required to dissolve the existing partnership and wind up the financial affairs of the business.

• Advise Pendleton and McRae of their legal rights: What are the reasons they can dissolve vs terminate a partnership?
