Founded by Pat McGoo, m57.biz is a new patent search company that researches patent information for their clients. Specifically, the business of patent search is to generally verify the novelty of a patent (before the patent is granted), or to invalidate an existing patent by finding prior art (proof that the idea existed before the patent). At the start of the scenario, the firm has four employees: CEO (Pat McGoo), IT Administrator (Terry), and two patent researchers (Jo, Charlie). The firm is planning to hire additional employees at a later date once further clients are booked. Since the company is looking to hire additional employees, they have an abundant amount of technology in the inventory that is not being used. Employees work onsite and conduct most business exchanges over email. All employees work in Windows environments, although each employee prefers different software (e.g. Outlook vs. Thunderbird).
