Question

Which of the following would violate intellectual property laws?

A. Using music specifically designed for use in fitness facilities during small-group personal training
B. ACE Certified Professionals listing their ACE certification on their business cards
C. Allowing person-training clients the option to bring their own music to be played during their training sessions
D. Using the ACE logo to promote nutritional products, DVDs, or equipment sold by an ACE Certified Professional

Answer 1

Using the ACE logo to promote personal products would violate intellectual property laws because it infringes on ACE's exclusive rights to their logo and branding unless permission has been granted.

Step-by-step explanation:

Which of the following would violate intellectual property laws? The answer is D. Using the ACE logo to promote nutritional products, DVDs, or equipment sold by an ACE Certified Professional. State and federal property laws are strict about the usage of logos and trademarks to ensure the protection of a brand's intellectual property. When ACE Certified Professionals use the ACE logo in association with their own products, they could be infringing upon ACE's exclusive rights, unless they have obtained permission from ACE to do so. In contrast, the other options are either permitted under licensing agreements, such as music for fitness facilities, or do not pertain to copyright, such as listing certifications on a business card and allowing clients to bring their own music.
