Assignment 1

Apply: Securities and International Regulatory Agencies

The purpose of this assignment is to analyze the effect of domestic and international regulatory agencies and court systems on business transactions and dispute resolution.

Read the following scenario:

You are the CEO of Bonner, a U.S.-based farm equipment corporation. Bonner recently announced the release of an innovative new tractor with technology based on a patented invention developed by Bonner's engineers. Bonner's vice president, who is aware of the upcoming product offering, bought 100,000 shares of Bonner stock prior to the announcement. You found out about the vice president's stock purchase on the day of the announcement.

One week after the announcement, Bonner received a letter from a German farm equipment corporation, accusing Bonner of patent infringement based on the new tractor's technology. 

Bonner's board of directors asked you to assess the vice president's liability for the stock purchase and the company's options for resolving the German corporation's patent infringement claim.

Prepare an 8 to 10 slide Power Point Briefing for Bonner's Leadership covering the following points and recommending courses of action in light of the German claims.  In your Briefing, be sure to include a comparison of a resolution of the patent dispute in a U.S. court with the resolution of the dispute using the World Intellectual Property Organization's (WIPO) dispute resolution program.  (You will have to search the internet to review WIPO's dispute resolution program. (Information about WIPO's dispute resolution program may be located on its website by searching the Internet for WIPO).

• Assess the liability of Bonner's vice president for purchasing the corporation's stock prior to the announcement of the new tractor. 
• Assess whether Bonner has any legal or ethical duties to disclose the stock purchase, and if so, to whom?
• Discuss risk management procedures Bonner can adopt to avoid or reduce situations like these from happening in the future.

Cite a minimum of two references.

Format your assignment according to APA guidelines.
