21, Cаmerоn аnd Ferris tооk Cаmeron’s dad’s car on a joy ride without permission. Afterwards, they mistakenly thought that running the car in reverse would reduce the miles on the odometer, but it did not. Frustrated, Cameron kicked the car, which then rolled out of the garage and crashed. After a stern rebuke of Cameron, Cameron’s dad repaired the car and restored it to excellent condition. He later decided to sell it in “as-is” condition. He did not disclose the prior joy ride or the mistaken odometer attempt. The buyer had the car inspected, knew about the crash and repairs (which were disclosed by Cameron’s dad), and was aware of the car’s mileage, which the buyer still considered low. The buyer buys the car. Has Cameron’s dad committed fraud?
Fоr questiоns 43-46, pleаse refer tо the following pаssаge: Locuna Incorporated (“Locuna”) hired Dr. Howard Mierzwiak to invent a surgical device capable of erasing unwanted or painful memories in patients. Dr. Mierzwiak developed a targeted memory erasure device that detects the active area of the brain when a patient recalls a painful memory and then zaps that part of the brain to erase it. The device includes both hardware and software, and Mierzwiak’s duties encompassed development of both components. Dr. Mierzwiak has been employed by Locuna for 20 years. He works in a corporate office in New York City, receives an annual salary of $250,000 (paid bimonthly by direct deposit), has medical and dental benefits, and uses Locuna’s labs and equipment. His work is closely supervised by the company president, who reviews all designs and revisions daily. Stan, an independent contractor, was hired to invent and develop the computer software that operates the device. He was paid a flat fee of $150,000 upon completion. Stan worked independently from his own basement, used his own computer and Internet, provided progress updates to Mierzwiak voluntarily, and received no direction from him. Stan paid for his own medical and dental benefits. Patrick was hired as an independent contractor by Locuna to act as an underwater ceramic disinfectant technician. While learning about the memory erasure project, Patrick voluntarily contributed by writing a software module after hours on a Locuna computer in a computer lab owned by Locuna. This module contained patentable features, which were incorporated into Stan’s software. On April 15, 2016, Dr. Mierzwiak and the president presented the device at a venture capital conference in Washington, D.C., publicly distributing a detailed printed article describing the device in sufficient detail for person having ordinary skill in the art to replicate it. A U.S. nonprovisional patent application was filed on February 15, 2017. A U.S. patent issued, properly naming Dr. Mierzwiak, Stan, and Patrick as co-inventors, covering the device with the software.
