“Intellectual property laws, along
with court decisions and regulations, establish rules for the following
activities: selling or licensing of intellectual property, resolving disputes
between companies making or selling similar intellectual property products and
services, and the registration and administration of intellectual property.”(Patent, Copyright, and Trademark. Page 5)
For part 1 of our final project, we were asked how I made
contact with the person that I chose, how I found them, and why I feel that
they were a good choice for my project.
The lawyer I decided to interview is Keith Hawkins. He is
part of the Associate General Counsel at United Health Care of Nevada, and
oversees the entire legal department at the company.
I was able to get referenced to him, because he works
closely with my mother at the company, I talked to her about the project and we
both felt that he would be more then able to help me with some of the questions
that I had to present.
Since UHCN is primarily a insurance company, Keith deals
with a lot of Intellectual property issues concerning the copyrighting and
protection of the companies important insurance documents that are constantly
changing and requiring update.
At first, I was skeptical about asking some of the questions
that I had written down. Because, he deals mainly with insurance copyright and
protection, and a lot of the questions that I would be asking were going to be
dealing with that of audio production. However, after talking with Keith for a
few minutes, I felt comfortable that he would be able to answer most of what I
had, and to my expectations, he did not disappoint.
“Intellectual property laws
consist of several separate and overlapping legal disciplines, each with its
own characteristics and terminology.”(Patent,
Copyright, and Trademark. Page 5)
