Instructiоns: Pleаse аnswer eаch belоw questiоn in 150 words or fewer. We will not grade past the 150 word mark per question. The Fairview Coal Dust (FCD) is a local newspaper in rural West Virginia. The FCD did a long, intensive investigative study of a new type of onion/leek that was found growing in an old, dried-up pond. The pond was man-made, and is owned and used by a local coal mining company, Grandpa’s Coal. The pond was used as a wastewater pond from their coal mining activities. Grandpa’s Coal named the wild onion Buffalo Creek Ramps (BCR), after a creek where the owner used to play as a kid. They started selling it to local restaurants, where it became a big hit. Ramps themselves are a well-known indigenous species in the local region (see Allium tricoccum - Wikipedia). BCR has a more intense onion and smoky taste. Scientists studied the properties of BCR and found that the plant had much higher concentrations of sulfates absorbed in the plant, which intensified the onion flavor and gave it its smoky taste. The scientists discovered that BCR has sulfate concentrations of 20-30 parts per million (ppm), whereas indigenous ramps had sulfate concentrations of about 10-15ppm. The scientists concluded that the increased concentration of sulfates was a result of the unique wastewater runoff from Grandpa’s. BCR really took off, and soon became popular in Michelin star restaurants around the world. Only Grandpa’s is aware of the combination and concentrations of “ingredients” in its water runoff, and BCR only grows in wastewater ponds stemming from Grandpa’s various coal mines. Recognizing the popularity of BCR, and reading excerpts of the FCD article, other coal companies around the world started growing ramps in their wastewater ponds, and started selling their ramps also using the same name, Buffalo Creek Ramps. Closed EO (EO), a west-coast-based AI company, is in need of data for use in its AI large language models. As part of its strategy, EO scraped FCD’s website for all of its content. Similarly, as the new ramps were now being grown worldwide, hundreds of local articles were being written about BCR. However, competitors were not able to consistently produce concentration levels of 20-30ppm – most were either lower or higher than 20-30 ppm range. Many articles went into great depth into the varying types and concentrations of sulfates used in coal mining techniques. Users of the large language models (LLMs) created by EO were able to quickly get up to speed on what makes BCR unique. FCD sued EO for copyright infringement, as their articles were scraped and used as training data for EO’s LLMs. Please answer the following four questions, with no more than 150 words per question: Can Grandpa’s claim the ingredients of the water runoff as a trade secret? Please discuss the indicia of trade secrets and apply to the facts. Can BCR be patented? Please evaluate the indicia of patentability. Will Grandpa’s be successful if it goes after other coal companies selling ramps by the name Buffalo Creek Ramps? Will FCD prevail in its copyright suit? Please evaluate the suit and EO’s defense.
