"Data, Patents, and Copyrights" Please respond to the following:

• From the e-Activity, take a position as to whether you believe the NSA overreacted to the small business’s use of their logo or took appropriate action against the small business. Provide a rationale for your response.
• Per the text, both the government and industry have specific and valid interests in data, yet the government’s needs may well exceed those of private commercial contractors.

Suggest two (2) changes in those rights that you would make in order to benefit the contractor. Provide a rationale for your response.

Provide a rationale for your response.
• Regarding the contract closeout process, make at least one (1) recommendation for improvement that would benefit the government and one (1) recommendation for improvement that would benefit the contractor. Provide a rationale for each recommendation.
