GIAC Certified Forensic Analyst (GCFA) — Question 12

Adam works as a Computer Hacking Forensic Investigator for a garment company in the United States. A project has been assigned to him to investigate a case of a disloyal employee who is suspected of stealing design of the garments, which belongs to the company and selling those garments of the same design under different brand name. Adam investigated that the company does not have any policy related to the copy of design of the garments. He also investigated that the trademark under which the employee is selling the garments is almost identical to the original trademark of the company. On the grounds of which of the following laws can the employee be prosecuted?

Answer options

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is A, Trademark law, because the employee is using a trademark that is almost identical to the company's, which constitutes trademark infringement. Cyber law (B) generally deals with internet-related offenses, while Copyright law (C) pertains to the protection of original works of authorship, and Espionage law (D) is related to spying rather than trademark issues.
