imitation

Read a random definition: domestic partner adoption

A quick definition of imitation:

Imitation is when someone creates or sells something that looks very similar to something else that is already trademarked. This can be confusing for people who might think they are buying the real thing. It is not allowed because it can harm the reputation of the original product and the person who created it. Even if the differences are small, it can still cause harm. It is not a good excuse to say that the people who sell it know it is an imitation, because the people who buy it might not know.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: An imitation is an item that closely resembles a trademarked item, to the point where it may deceive people into thinking it is the genuine product.

Example: Let's say a popular brand of sneakers has a unique logo on the side. Another company creates a similar logo and puts it on their own sneakers, which look almost identical to the original brand. This is an example of an imitation.

This is a problem because the original brand has worked hard to build a reputation for their product, and the imitation may trick people into buying a lower quality product. Even if the wholesale buyer can tell the difference, the small retailer or consumer may not be able to, causing harm to the original brand's reputation.

I wish that wearing a mask when sick stuck around as an okay thing like it is in the rest of the world, not all of us have enough sick days to be ditching work.

One manager came in sick wearing a mask, got roasted and stopped wearing it that day. The entire office has been cycling sickness for two weeks now. It may not be super effective but it may help in slowing the spread during meetings when we have to be so close
