Chapter 8 Reflection Blog

    In chapter 8, I learned a lot of valuable material that will help me in later life. I now understand why businesses/people get patents, copyrights, and trademarks. Patents are used to protect your ideas, while copyrights protect your inventions (music, books, etc), and businesses get trademarks so nobody can steal their logo/slogan. I also leaned about the laws that protect employees. Wrongful termination, firing somebody for the wrong reasons. Child labor law, having a child under the age of 16 work. Those are just a few I learned much more in dept. We also discuss the laws that affect the start- up of a business, license/permit, contracts, and location. Also in this chapter we were introduced to several  entrepreneurs. This information was much needed for those of us who really want to be a entrepreneur, because when you have people under you, you have to make sure you follow all the laws so that you or your business can't be sued.
