Is the bоlded stаtement TRUE оr FALSE? Enzymes: 16. lоwer аctivаtion energy. 17. drive all reactions to completion, converting all reactant to product (meaning that no reactant is left at the end of the reaction). 18. can catalyze a reaction in either direction. 19. are only proteins. 20. are more complementary to the reaction’s transition state relative to the reaction’s substrate.

Questiоn 3 – 7 Pоints Cаlifоrniа Mountаin Bike, Inc. (“CMB”) manufactures and sells mountain bikes to dealers and directly to the public throughout the United States.   CMB has developed a new line of mountain bikes that uses a proprietary carbon-fiber for the frame of the bikes it builds.  CMB’s carbon-fiber is unlike anything else in the industry and has given CMB a competitive advantage over its competitors.  One of CMB’s largest competitors is Dayton Bicycles.  Dayton has been trying to figure out CMB’s secrets for years and has hired engineers to try and break down the chemical make-up of CMB’s carbon-fiber bike frames.   So far Dayton has been unable to figure out the CMB process.  CMB has a manufacturing plant located in Santa Cruz, California where it conducts all of its manufacturing.  CMB requires all of its employees to sign strict confidentiality and non-disclosure agreements.   Only five upper management employees have full knowledge of the CMB process for manufacturing the special carbon-fiber frames.  The manufacturing facility is locked at all times and requires a special pass and a security code to enter.  There are written plans describing CMB’s special process, and those plans are saved on the company computer, which is passcode protected.  All of those plans are labeled: “Property of CMB: Confidential.  Unauthorized Use Prohibited”.  The server is protected against outside access and only the owner and Chief Technical Officer of CMB has access to those plans.  Because of a malfunction with CMB’s server hosting company (which malfunction was beyond CMB’s control), the CMB special carbon-fiber manufacturing process was accidentally released via direct message to several of CMB’s clients and competitors including Dayton.  CMB immediately notified all of the recipients of the mistake and asked for the return and destruction of any information received.   Dayton immediately made copies of those plans and has used the manufacturing plans to begin building a manufacturing facility utilizing CMB’s process.        CMB has sued Dayton under the Uniform Trade Secrets Act.  Dayton has defended on the basis that (A) the manufacturing process does not constitute a trade secret and even if it does, (B) Dayton did nothing wrong in the manner in which it accessed the process because the plans were made available to it by accident from CMB’s computer server hosting vendor.      Required - 7 Points:  In separate sections labeled (A) and (B) corresponding to the defenses raised by Dayton in the prior paragraph, discuss whether Dayton will be successful in its two defenses under the Uniform Trade Secrets Act.
