Why are patents important in the development of additional products?

• They make products more accessible to consumers.

• They make it easier to sue companies or individuals.

• They prevent others from stealing ideas.

• They generate other competitive ideas.

What are limits related to the design of a technology system?

• Resources

• Constraints

• Criteria

• Availability

What design elements are used to determine which product model meets a design challenge?

• Written and oral reports

• Input and output

• Criteria and constraints

• Brainstorming and storyboarding

The height limit for a building in downtown is 2,500'. This limit is a building and design:

• function.

• constraint.

• criterion.

• challenge.

Which three components of a design compete with each other?

• Criteria, constraints, and consistency

• Efficiency, consistency, and time

• Constraints, efficiency, and accessibility

• Criteria, constraints, and efficiency

A design challenge is defined by identifying:

• criteria and constraints

• tests and data

• brainstorming and storyboarding

• input and output.

Design considerations for a potential product must be established upon a definition of the:

• terms and conditions.

• usage and entertainment.

• criteria and constraints.

• time and space.

People seek patents for the purpose of:

• guarding the investment of the inventor

• .earning profits

The protection of a creative idea to safeguard the investment of the inventor and give credit to the proper inventor occurs by obtaining:

• a registered trademark.

• a patent.

• a copyright.

• a business license.

A description of the materials available for the design of a project is a good example of a:

• criteria.

• resource

• principle.

• constraint.
