Fred has invented a vehicle propelled by a hybrid of pedal power and electricity. This being so ingenuous, he has decided to apply for a patent. Based on reading the Business Law Textbook and/or course notes, one can correctly conclude that:

Select one:

a.An invention may be patented if it has unique qualities. It does not matter that it may have been in use by others.

b.ThePatent Actdoes not require the inventor to disclose information about how the object works.

c.The only way to create patent is to register the invention with the patent office.

d.Patent law is indistinguishable from copyright law in that it protects the idea and theory behind the invention as well as the invention itself.
