The Consulting Ethics Situation

You are attending a conference and hear “Rosa,” another consultant with your area of expertise, present her latest research to the acclaim of the audience – in person and live streamed globally.

However, during her presentation to highlight the incredible impact of her work, Rosa shares two of your trademarked and copyrighted models without attribution.

You created and have used your models in your work and presentations for the past twenty years. You maintain the usual copyright notices on your website, slides and printed materials.
