(1) REGULATORY FRAMEWORK: This provision primarily engages contract law and intellectual property law (17 U.S.C. §102 — ideas are generally not copyrightable, so the provision largely codifies existing law).

FTC Act Section 5 may apply if the feedback collection mechanism is used to harvest commercially sensitive consumer suggestions in a misleading way. (2)
