Applying for a patent so that he is granted a monopoly over selling his game for 20 years. b. Registering his copyright, as copyright will protect his game for 50 years. Unless he registers his copyright, Barney will not be able to prevent others from copying his game. c. Registering a trademark.

- Consider any market that has an inverted demand curve given by P = 200-0.6Qd, where P is the market price and Qd is the quantity demanded. Whatever the market structure, it is known that the production of this good takes place through Cmg = CVme= $80.00. Consider that the production of this market can be done by a monopolist company or by two duopolists. If it is a duopoly, the companies will organize themselves as a Stackelberg duopoly and will each have a fixed cost of $1,500.00. If it is a monopoly, this company will have a lot of expenses with licenses with the government, as it is the only one to explore the resource. In this way, your fixed costs would reach $5,000.00. Given this information, evaluate the best balance for this market, from the point of view of consumers.arrow_forwardSuppose that a small-town theater has six potential customers and is looking to implement price discrimination depending on when customers want to atlend.
