Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The substitutability test is failed as a competitor has developed a product that can meet the same performance requirements using a different technology. The value test is not failed as ACME's technology is still valuable, and the rareness test is also not failed as ACME is still the only one with the patented technology for printed circuit boards.
