Despite its rapid spread, Islam is not a religion for those who are casual about regulations. 2 On the
contrary, adhering to the rules of Islam takes effort and discipline. 3 One must rise before dawn to observe the first
of five prayers required daily, none of which can take place without first cleansing oneself according to an
established ritual or ceremony. 4 Sleep, work, and recreational activities take second place to prayer. 5 Fasting for
the month of Ramadan, undertaking the pilgrimage to Mecca at least once in a lifetime, paying tax for relief of the
Muslim poor, and accepting Islam’s creed require a serious and an energetic commitment. 6 On the whole, the vast
majority of Muslims worldwide do observe those tenets.

1Many people don’t know the difference between a patent and a trademark. 2 However the terms trademark
and patent aren't synonyms, they refer to different things. 3 Granted for a specific number of years, a patent protects
both the name of a product and its method of manufacture. 4 In 1928, for example, Jacob Schick invented and then
patented the electric razor in an effort to maintain complete control of his creation. 5 Similarly, between 1895 and
1912, no one but the Shredded Wheat company was allowed to make shredded wheat because the company had the
patent. 6 A trademark is a name, symbol, or other device that identifies a product and makes it memorable in the
minds of consumers. 7 Kleenex, JELL-O, and Xerox are all examples of trademarks. 8 Aware of the power that
trademarks possess, companies fight to protect them. 9 They do not allow anyone else to use one without permission.
10Occasionally, though, a company gets careless and loses control of a trademark. 11Aspirin, for example, is no
longer considered a trademark, and any company can call a pain-reducing tablet an aspirin.
