What are drawback of patent?

Patents are legal protections granted to inventors that give them exclusive rights to make, use, and
sell their inventions for a certain period of time. While patents can be beneficial to inventors and
society, they also have several drawbacks:
1. Limited Timeframe: Patents only last for a limited period of time, typically 20 years from the date of
filing. After that, the invention falls into the public domain, and anyone can use it. This can limit the
long-term profitability of the invention and can make it less attractive to investors.
2. Costly: Obtaining a patent can be expensive, requiring fees for filing, search, and examination, as well
as the cost of hiring a patent attorney or agent. This can make it difficult for small inventors or
startups to obtain patent protection.
3. Infringement: Even with a patent, it can be difficult to prevent others from using, making, or selling
similar products. Patent infringement can be costly and time-consuming to pursue in court, and even
if an infringement is found, damages may not cover the cost of litigation.
4. Limited Geographical Scope: Patents are only valid in the countries where they are granted. This can
make it difficult for inventors to protect their inventions in other countries.
5. Limited Disclosure: In order to obtain a patent, an inventor must disclose detailed information about
their invention, including how it works and how it is made. This information becomes publicly
available and can be used by others to improve upon the invention or create similar products,
limiting the inventor's ability to maintain a competitive advantage.
6. Negative Impact on Innovation: Some argue that patents can stifle innovation by creating a barrier to
entry for other inventors or by limiting access to information that could lead to further advancements
in the field. This can lead to a "patent thicket," where a large number of patents are granted for
similar technologies, making it difficult for anyone to innovate without infringing on someone else's
patent.

investment in training and development.

Differentiate between criminal law and civil law?


Criminal law and civil law are two distinct branches of law, each with its own set of rules, procedures,
and objectives. Here are the key differences between criminal law and civil law:
1. Purpose and Objective: Criminal law aims to punish individuals who commit crimes, which are
offenses against the state or society as a whole. The main objective of criminal law is to protect
public safety, maintain order, and deter criminal behavior.
Civil law, on the other hand, aims to provide relief to individuals who have suffered harm, such as
physical injury or financial loss, as a result of the actions of others. The main objective of civil law is to
compensate victims and restore them to their pre-injury state.
2. Party Involved: In criminal law, the parties involved are the state, represented by a prosecutor, and
the accused, who is the person charged with a crime. The victim of the crime is generally not a party
to the criminal case, and it is the state that brings the case and prosecutes the accused.
In civil law, the parties involved are the plaintiff, who is the person or entity that has been harmed,
and the defendant, who is the person or entity that allegedly caused the harm.
3. Burden of Proof: In criminal law, the burden of proof is on the prosecution, which must prove beyond
a reasonable doubt that the accused committed the crime. This is a high standard of proof and
requires the prosecution to present strong evidence to support its case.
In civil law, the burden of proof is on the plaintiff, who must prove by a preponderance of the
evidence that the defendant caused the harm. This is a lower standard of proof, requiring the plaintiff
to provide evidence that is more likely true than not.
4. Consequences: In criminal law, if the accused is found guilty, he or she may face a range of penalties,
including imprisonment, fines, and probation. In some cases, the accused may also be required to
pay restitution to the victim.
In civil law, if the defendant is found liable, he or she may be required to pay damages to the plaintiff,
which are intended to compensate the plaintiff for the harm suffered. Damages may include
compensation for medical expenses, lost wages, and pain and suffering.
5. Process: The process of criminal law involves a formal criminal trial, where the prosecution presents
evidence to a judge or jury, and the accused has the right to defend himself or herself. In civil law, the
process usually involves a civil lawsuit, where the plaintiff files a complaint and the defendant has the
opportunity to respond.
Overall, while criminal law and civil law are distinct, they often interact and overlap, with the same
actions sometimes leading to both criminal and civil consequences.

In how many ways a commercial organization can be operated?


A commercial organization can be operated in a number of ways, depending on the legal and
regulatory framework of the country in which it is established, the nature of the business, the size of
the organization, and the goals and objectives of the owners or managers. Here are some common
ways in which a commercial organization can be operated:
1. Sole Proprietorship: A sole proprietorship is a business owned and operated by a single individual.
The owner is responsible for all aspects of the business, including finances, management, and
operations. This is a common form of organization for small businesses.
2. Partnership: A partnership is a business owned and operated by two or more individuals, who share
the profits and losses of the business. Partnerships can be general partnerships, where all partners
have equal responsibility and liability, or limited partnerships, where some partners have limited
liability and are not involved in the day-to-day management of the business.
3. Corporation: A corporation is a legal entity that is separate from its owners, with its own rights and
responsibilities. The owners of a corporation are shareholders, who elect a board of directors to
manage the corporation. Corporations offer limited liability protection to their shareholders, meaning
that the shareholders' personal assets are generally protected from the debts and liabilities of the
corporation.
4. Limited Liability Company (LLC): An LLC is a hybrid business structure that combines the flexibility
and tax benefits of a partnership with the limited liability protection of a corporation. Like a
corporation, an LLC is a separate legal entity, but it is taxed like a partnership, with profits and losses
flowing through to the owners.
5. Cooperative: A cooperative is a business owned and operated by a group of individuals or
businesses, who work together to meet their common needs and goals. Cooperatives can be
organized as worker-owned cooperatives, where the employees own and manage the business, or as
consumer cooperatives, where the customers own and control the business.
6. Franchise: A franchise is a business model in which an individual or group of individuals (the
franchisee) is granted the right to operate a business using the name, trademarks, and business
methods of another company (the franchisor). Franchises offer a proven business model and brand
recognition, but typically require the payment of franchise fees and ongoing royalties.
Overall, the choice of business structure will depend on a variety of factors, including the nature of
the business, the size of the organization, and the goals and objectives of the owners or managers. It
is important to consult with legal and financial professionals to determine the best structure for your
particular situation.

Why it become necessary to terminate a contract?


Terminating a contract can become necessary for a variety of reasons, including:
1. Breach of contract: If one party fails to meet the obligations outlined in the contract, the other party
may have the right to terminate the contract. A breach of contract can occur if one party fails to
perform their duties, if they do not meet the quality standards outlined in the contract, or if they do
not complete the work on time.
2. Change in circumstances: The circumstances under which the contract was made may have changed,
making it difficult or impossible for one or both parties to fulfill their obligations. For example, if a
natural disaster occurs, it may be impossible for a contractor to complete a construction project as
scheduled, and the contract may need to be terminated.
3. Mutual agreement: Sometimes both parties may agree to terminate the contract. This can occur if
one or both parties are dissatisfied with the terms of the contract, if they have completed their
obligations, or if they have reached a different agreement.
4. Illegality: If the contract becomes illegal or violates a law, it may be necessary to terminate it. For
example, if a contract is made for an illegal purpose or in violation of a regulation, it may be void
and unenforceable.
5. Insolvency: If one party becomes insolvent, meaning they are unable to pay their debts, it may be
necessary to terminate the contract.
6. Force majeure: This refers to events beyond the control of the parties that make it impossible to
fulfill the terms of the contract. Examples of force majeure events include natural disasters, wars, and
government actions. In such cases, the parties may need to terminate the contract.
Overall, terminating a contract should be done carefully and in accordance with the terms of the
contract and applicable law. It is important to consider the potential consequences of terminating the
contract, including any financial or legal obligations that may arise. If you are considering terminating
a contract, it is advisable to seek legal advice to ensure that your actions are lawful and that you are
protecting your interests.

What do you know about outsourcing?


Outsourcing is a business practice in which a company contracts with an external party to perform
certain tasks, functions, or processes that would otherwise be performed by the company's own
employees or departments. The external party can be located domestically or overseas, and may be
an individual or a company.

The primary motivation for outsourcing is to reduce costs, improve efficiency, and increase flexibility.
By outsourcing non-core functions, companies can focus on their core business activities and reduce
the amount of time and resources spent on non-essential tasks. Outsourcing can also provide access
to specialized skills and knowledge that may not be available in-house.
Common functions that are outsourced include information technology services, such as software
development and maintenance, customer support, human resources, accounting and finance, and
manufacturing. Outsourcing can take many forms, such as project-based outsourcing, where a
specific project is outsourced, or ongoing outsourcing, where an external provider is contracted to
perform a recurring task or service.

There are also several types of outsourcing arrangements, including onshore, nearshore, and offshore
outsourcing. Onshore outsourcing involves contracting with an external provider within the same
country as the client company, while nearshore outsourcing involves contracting with an external
provider in a nearby country. Offshore outsourcing involves contracting with an external provider in a
country that is geographically distant from the client company, often in a different time zone.

While outsourcing can offer several benefits, such as cost savings and access to specialized skills, it
can also have drawbacks. These can include the loss of control over certain business functions,
reduced communication and collaboration, and potential legal and regulatory issues. Companies
considering outsourcing should carefully evaluate the costs and benefits, and assess the risks
involved in outsourcing certain functions.

Differentiate between primary and secondary infringement?


Primary infringement and secondary infringement are two types of copyright infringement. Here is
how they differ:
1. Primary infringement: Primary infringement occurs when someone directly violates one or more of
the exclusive rights of a copyright owner. This can include copying, distributing, performing, or
displaying a copyrighted work without permission. Primary infringement is often committed by the
person who creates the infringing work or engages in the infringing activity.
2. Secondary infringement: Secondary infringement, also known as indirect infringement, occurs when
someone facilitates or contributes to another person's primary infringement. This can include
providing tools or services that enable someone to infringe on a copyright, such as file-sharing
software or hosting platforms that allow users to upload infringing content. Secondary infringement
can also include knowingly benefiting from someone else's primary infringement, such as by selling
infringing copies of a copyrighted work.
Both primary and secondary infringement can result in legal action by the copyright owner, and can
lead to civil and/or criminal penalties. However, the specific legal requirements and defenses for each
type of infringement can vary depending on the circumstances of the case and the applicable laws in
the jurisdiction where the infringement occur.

Which was the first cyber in Pakistan?


The first cybercrime law in Pakistan was the Electronic Transactions Ordinance (ETO) 2002, which was
promulgated on October 27, 2002. The ETO aimed to facilitate e-commerce in the country and
provided legal recognition to electronic documents, electronic signatures, and other digital
transactions. It also contained provisions related to cybercrime, such as unauthorized access to
computer systems, computer-related forgery, and interference with the data and electronic systems.

In 2007, the Prevention of Electronic Crimes Ordinance (PECO) was introduced in Pakistan to replace
the ETO. The PECO expanded the scope of cybercrime and provided additional powers to law
enforcement agencies to investigate and prosecute cybercrime cases. The PECO was amended in
2016 to further strengthen the legal framework for cybercrime in Pakistan.

Overall, Pakistan has taken several steps to develop its legal framework for addressing cybercrime
and protecting the country's information infrastructure. However, like many other countries, Pakistan
continues to face challenges in effectively enforcing its cybercrime laws and addressing the rapidly
evolving threats posed by cyber criminals.

Define regulatory bodies?


Regulatory bodies are government agencies or non-governmental organizations that are responsible
for overseeing and enforcing laws, rules, and regulations related to a specific industry or sector.
Regulatory bodies may be established at the national, state or local level, depending on the scope of
their mandate and the relevant jurisdictional authority.

The primary goal of regulatory bodies is to protect public health, safety, and welfare, by ensuring that
businesses and organizations comply with relevant laws and regulations. Regulatory bodies may be
responsible for a wide range of functions, such as setting standards, issuing licenses and permits,
conducting inspections and audits, investigating complaints and violations, and imposing fines or
penalties for non-compliance.

Examples of regulatory bodies include the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in the United States,
which regulates food safety, drugs, medical devices, and other products, the Federal
Communications Commission (FCC), which regulates telecommunications and broadcasting, and the
Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), which regulates securities and financial markets. Other
examples include environmental agencies, energy regulators, labor departments, and transportation
authorities.
Regulatory bodies play an important role in ensuring that businesses and organizations operate in a
responsible and ethical manner, and that the public is protected from potential harm or abuse.
However, they can also face criticism for being overly bureaucratic, slow to respond to emerging
issues, or overly influenced by industry interests.

In how many types we can define the relation between professional and client?
There are several types of relationships that can exist between a professional and a client. Here are
some of the most common:
1. Agency relationship: This type of relationship exists when the professional is acting as an agent for
the client, meaning they are authorized to act on the client's behalf and make decisions for them.
This is common in situations such as real estate transactions or legal representation.
2. Fiduciary relationship: A fiduciary relationship is a type of agency relationship that involves a higher
level of trust and responsibility. In a fiduciary relationship, the professional is expected to act in the
best interests of the client, even if it means putting the client's interests ahead of their own.
3. Contractual relationship: A contractual relationship is one where the professional and client have
entered into a contract, which outlines the terms and conditions of their relationship. This could
include things like the scope of work, payment terms, and deadlines.
4. Consultative relationship: A consultative relationship is one where the professional provides advice
and guidance to the client, but does not necessarily have decision-making authority or act on the
client's behalf. This is common in fields such as management consulting or financial planning.
5. Collaborative relationship: A collaborative relationship is one where the professional and client work
together as equals to achieve a common goal. This is common in fields such as creative services,
where the professional and client may work together to create a piece of artwork or design a
website.
The specific type of relationship that exists between a professional and client will depend on the
nature of their work and the specific circumstances of their engagement.

Why characteristics of the computer are unique and also briefly describe in property "uniquely
malleable"? discription should not more than 3 lines?
The characteristics of computers are unique because they can process and store large amounts of
data quickly and accurately, they can be programmed to perform a wide variety of tasks, and they
can communicate with other devices and networks. The property "uniquely malleable" refers to the
ability of computers to be easily reprogrammed to perform different functions or adapt to changing
circumstances.
Write down the characteristics of a professional?
The characteristics of a professional typically include:
1. Expertise: Professionals have a high level of knowledge, skills, and experience in their chosen field or
industry.
2. Ethics: Professionals are guided by a set of ethical principles and standards of conduct, which often
include a duty to act in the best interests of their clients or customers.
3. Accountability: Professionals are accountable for their actions and decisions, and may be subject to
legal or regulatory oversight.
4. Responsibility: Professionals take responsibility for the quality and outcomes of their work, and may
be held liable for any harm or damage that results from their actions.
5. Continuous learning: Professionals are committed to ongoing learning and professional
development to keep their skills and knowledge up-to-date.
6. Communication skills: Professionals have strong communication skills, including the ability to listen,
ask questions, and convey information clearly and effectively.
7. Respect for diversity: Professionals respect and value diversity in all its forms, including differences in
culture, race, gender, and background.
These characteristics are often considered essential for individuals in professions such as law,
medicine, engineering, accounting, and many others. However, they can also apply to individuals in
any field who take a professional approach to their work.

What is data subject?


A data subject is an individual who is the subject of personal data that is being processed by an
organization or entity. Personal data is any information that can be used to identify a living person,
such as their name, address, phone number, email address, or identification number.

Under many data protection laws, including the European Union's General Data Protection
Regulation (GDPR), data subjects have certain rights with respect to their personal data, such as the
right to access their data, request corrections to their data, and have their data erased or deleted in
certain circumstances. Organizations that process personal data are generally required to obtain the
data subject's consent or have another legal basis for processing the data, and must take appropriate
measures to protect the data subject's privacy and security.

Differentiate between data controller and data processor?


In the context of data protection laws, such as the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), there
is a distinction between the roles of data controller and data processor:
 Data controller: A data controller is an organization or entity that determines the purposes and
means of processing personal data. In other words, the data controller decides why and how
personal data is processed. The data controller may be an individual or an organization, and they
may be acting alone or jointly with others.
 Data processor: A data processor is an organization or entity that processes personal data on behalf
of the data controller. In other words, the data processor carries out processing activities that are
instructed by the data controller. The data processor may be an individual or an organization, and
they may be a separate entity from the data controller or a part of the same organization.
The data controller is ultimately responsible for ensuring that personal data is processed in
compliance with data protection laws and that the rights of data subjects are respected. The data
processor is responsible for processing the data in accordance with the instructions of the data
controller and taking appropriate security measures to protect the data. Under the GDPR, there are
specific obligations that apply to both data controllers and data processors, and organizations may
be subject to significant fines and penalties for non-compliance.

What can be patented?


A patent is a form of intellectual property that gives the inventor exclusive rights to prevent others
from making, using, or selling their invention for a certain period of time. In general, patents can be
granted for inventions that are:
1. Novel: The invention must be new and not disclosed or made available to the public before the
patent application is filed.
2. Useful: The invention must have a practical use or application.
3. Non-obvious: The invention must not be obvious to someone with ordinary skill in the field of the
invention.
Patentable inventions can include a wide range of things, such as:
1. Machines and mechanical devices
2. Chemical compositions and compounds
3. Processes and methods
4. Software and computer-implemented inventions
5. Designs for products or objects
6. Plants and genetically modified organisms (GMOs)
It's worth noting that not all inventions can be patented. For example, laws of nature, physical
phenomena, and abstract ideas are generally not considered to be patentable subject matter.
Additionally, some countries have specific requirements or exclusions for certain types of inventions.

What is to be deliver to the client after producing software?


When a software project is completed and delivered to the client, there are several things that should
be included in the final delivery. These may include:
1. The final software product: This should include the compiled code and any associated
documentation, such as user manuals or technical specifications.
2. License agreements: If the software uses third-party components or libraries, any applicable license
agreements should be included with the final delivery.
3. Source code: Depending on the terms of the contract or agreement with the client, the source code
for the software may need to be delivered as well. This would allow the client to make modifications
or updates to the software in the future.
4. Test reports: Documentation of the testing performed on the software, including any defects or bugs
that were identified and fixed during the testing process, should be included.
5. Installation instructions: Clear and concise instructions for installing and configuring the software
should be provided to the client.
6. Training materials: If the software requires specialized knowledge or training to use effectively, the
client may need training materials or support to help them get up to speed.
Overall, the specific deliverables will depend on the details of the project and the needs of the client.
It's important to clearly define the deliverables as part of the project planning process to ensure that
both the client and the development team have a clear understanding of what is expected.

Subjective part
Differentiate between the field of software engineering and computer science?
Software engineering and computer science are related but distinct fields that focus on different
aspects of computing. Here's a brief overview of the main differences:

applications, while computer science is focused on developing new knowledge and methods for
computing. Both fields are important and complementary, and many professionals work in both
areas.
Explain the following: sole Trade ,partnership ,company?
Sole trade, partnership, and company are different forms of business entities. Here's a brief overview
of each one:
1. Sole trader: A sole trader, also known as a sole proprietorship, is a business owned and operated by a
single individual. This individual is responsible for all aspects of the business, including finances,
management, and decision-making. The owner retains all profits but also bears all losses and
liabilities. Sole traders are simple to set up and manage but can be limited in terms of growth
potential and access to financing.
2. Partnership: A partnership is a business owned and operated by two or more individuals who share
profits and losses. Partnerships can be either general or limited, depending on the level of liability
and control each partner has. In a general partnership, all partners have equal control and unlimited
liability, while in a limited partnership, some partners have limited liability and control. Partnerships
are flexible and easy to set up but can be complicated to manage, especially when partners have
different goals or priorities.
3. Company: A company is a separate legal entity that is owned by one or more shareholders. The
company can be managed by a board of directors or a management team, depending on the
structure of the company. Shareholders are not personally liable for the debts or obligations of the
company, and they share in the profits and losses of the company. Companies can be structured as
either private or public, with different rules and regulations depending on the type of company.
Companies are more complex and expensive to set up and manage than sole traders or partnerships,
but they offer greater protection and growth potential.
Each of these forms of business has its own advantages and disadvantages, and the choice of which
one to use will depend on factors such as the size of the business, the level of liability and control
desired, and the need for financing or growth. It's important to carefully consider the options and
consult with legal and financial professionals before making a decision.

Explain the role and characteristics BSC(bachelor of science) as of professional body ?


Bachelor of Science (BSc) is not a professional body, but an academic degree awarded to students
who have completed a program of study in a scientific or technical field.

Professional bodies, on the other hand, are organizations that represent and regulate professionals in
a particular field. They may offer certification programs, set standards for professional conduct, and
provide support and resources to their members. The specific role and characteristics of a
professional body depend on the field it represents.

For example, in the field of engineering, the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) is a
professional body that sets standards for the profession, conducts research, and provides support
and resources to its members. In the field of medicine, the American Medical Association (AMA) is a
professional body that represents physicians, promotes medical research, and advocates for
healthcare policies.
In general, professional bodies play an important role in maintaining standards and promoting
professionalism within a particular field. They often work closely with regulatory bodies and
governmental organizations to ensure that professionals in their field are held to high standards and
are equipped with the necessary skills and knowledge to carry out their work.

Explain contractual issues?


Contractual issues refer to problems or disputes that arise between parties to a contract. These issues
can arise for a variety of reasons, such as a misunderstanding of the terms of the contract, a failure to
perform obligations under the contract, or a breach of the contract by one of the parties.

Some common contractual issues include:


1. Breach of contract: This occurs when one party fails to perform its obligations under the contract,
such as failing to deliver goods or services on time, or delivering goods or services that do not meet
the agreed-upon specifications.
2. Disputes over contract terms: This occurs when there is a disagreement between the parties over the
interpretation or application of the terms of the contract.
3. Termination of the contract: This occurs when one or both parties wish to end the contract before its
agreed-upon end date, which can lead to issues such as liability for damages and return of payments
made under the contract.
4. Non-payment or underpayment: This occurs when one party fails to pay the other party for goods or
services provided under the contract.
To prevent or address contractual issues, it is important to have a well-drafted contract that clearly
outlines the terms and obligations of each party, as well as a dispute resolution mechanism in case
issues do arise. It is also important to communicate clearly with the other party and to seek legal
advice if necessary.

Explain data protection principles?


Data protection principles are a set of guidelines that govern the collection, use, and handling of
personal data. Personal data refers to any information that can identify a living individual, such as
their name, address, email address, or IP address.

The following are the general data protection principles that are commonly recognized:
1. Lawfulness, fairness, and transparency: Personal data must be collected and processed in a lawful,
fair, and transparent manner. This means that the data controller must have a valid reason for
collecting the data and must be open and transparent about how the data will be used.
2. Purpose limitation: Personal data should only be collected for specific, legitimate purposes, and
should not be used for any other purposes without the consent of the data subject.
3. Data minimization: Personal data should be adequate, relevant, and limited to what is necessary for
the purposes for which it is being processed.
4. Accuracy: Personal data must be accurate and kept up-to-date. Data controllers are responsible for
ensuring that any inaccurate or outdated data is corrected or erased.
5. Storage limitation: Personal data should be kept for no longer than is necessary for the purposes for
which it is being processed.
6. Integrity and confidentiality: Personal data should be processed in a manner that ensures its security,
including protection against unauthorized or unlawful processing, accidental loss, destruction, or
damage.
7. Accountability: Data controllers are responsible for complying with data protection principles and
ensuring that data subjects are able to exercise their rights under data protection laws.
These principles are the foundation of many data protection laws and regulations around the world,
such as the EU's General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the US's Privacy Act. Adherence to
these principles is crucial for organizations that collect and process personal data to protect the
privacy and rights of individuals.

Explain why it is necessary to display terms and conditions of purchases on an ecommerce


website and why it is necessary to have a disclaimer on a website to inform users of the
website when cookies are being used?
It is necessary to display terms and conditions of purchases on an ecommerce website for several
reasons:
1. Establishing a legally binding contract: The terms and conditions of a purchase serve as a legally
binding contract between the buyer and the seller. They define the rights and obligations of both
parties, including payment, delivery, returns, and warranties.
2. Protecting the business: By displaying the terms and conditions, the business can protect itself
against disputes, chargebacks, and legal action. It can also set clear rules and guidelines for its
customers, reducing the risk of misunderstandings or miscommunications.
3. Building trust with customers: Transparent and clear terms and conditions can help build trust with
customers. It shows that the business values transparency and is committed to providing a fair and
honest service.
Regarding the use of cookies, a disclaimer is necessary to inform website users when cookies are
being used for several reasons:
1. Complying with legal requirements: Many countries have laws that require websites to inform users
when cookies are being used. By displaying a disclaimer, the website can comply with these laws.
2. Protecting user privacy: Cookies can be used to track user behavior and collect personal information.
By informing users that cookies are being used, the website can be transparent about how their data
is being collected and used.
3. Providing users with control: A disclaimer can also give users the option to opt-out of cookie
tracking or provide them with more information about how to manage their cookie settings. This
gives users more control over their online privacy and helps build trust between the website and its
users.
