What type of legal strategy could Jacob pursue?

You've already contradicted yourself. Jacob is either a young man or an old man. A or B.As far as what to do with the solution, Jacob has to make up his own mind.

He can either give it to the eccentric billionaire and relinquish his rights or he can copyright or patent it for sale on the open market. Another option is to renegotiate the deal with the eccentric billionaire for remuneration. ---------------------- Thumbs down?

Seriously? Read what you wrote man."Jacob, a brilliant young student" and then "Jacob is no spring chicken" So...which is it? Do you not know what that colloquialism means?

If you don't know what the phrase means, don't use it.My answer is still valid. It's up to Jacob as to what to do.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
