Intellectual Property


Dear Participant,



Thank you very much for taking the time to fill out the following questions. They will be used in a thesis paper for the Organizational Management course at Endicott College for the attainment of my Master’s in Education. The study is currently entitled: “Intellectual Property and the Internet: The Creation, Growth, Controversy and Downfall.”

Your participation in this study will help to decipher the validity of my research and to further investigation into what has become one of the hottest Internet topics of today. In order to maintain 95% competency and accuracy of answers, this survey will be distributed to over 300 participants.

If you would like to see the final tabulated results, please feel free to e-mail me at [email protected] with subject “IP Survey - Please Send Results” and I will place you on a list for notification when the paper is finalized in January 2005. If you would like to make comments, suggestions for further research or even feel that the wording does not work in a particular question, please feel free to e-mail me at the said e-mail address with subject “IP Suggestions.” All answers, requests and suggestions will be kept confidential.
