But what is intellectual property?
The United States Department of State defines intellectual property as the unique work reflecting someone’s creativity all around. Like miracle drugs, computer games, films, and cars. The three main areas of intellectual property law that innovators use to protect their ideas are Trademarks, Patents, and Copyrights.

Protect your most Valuable Assets
Intellectual property falls into three different categories: trademarks, patents, and copyright. The characteristics of the works categorize them and are as follows.
Trademark
Trademarks are a phrase, word, design, or a combination that identifies specific goods or services. Which distinguishes them from the goods or services of others. Showing the official source of these goods or services.
This law protects the trademark from registration without permission from others. It also helps prevent others from using a trademark that is like one that is already related to registered goods or services.
A well-known example of a trademark is Coca-Cola®.
Patent
Patents cover technical inventions. Like chemical compositions such as pharmaceutical drugs, mechanical processes, or machine designs that are new, unique, and usable in some type of industry.
Patent law safeguards these inventions and processes from others, copying, making, using, or selling them without consent from the inventor.
An example of a patent is a design for a new, more efficient motor.
Copyright
Copyrights cover an artistic, literary, or intellectual created work. This includes works like novels, music, movies, software code, photographs, and paintings. Which are original and exist in a tangible medium. Such as paper, canvas, film, or digital format.
Copyrights protects the creator’s exclusive right to reproduce, distribute, perform, and display the created work. It also prevents other people from copying or exploiting the creation without the copyright holder’s permission.
Song lyrics like “You’re Welcome” from the movie “Moana” are an example of a copyright.
