'''Patents, trademarks''' and '''copyrights''' are three types of intellectual property protections.

A '''patent''' is a grant made by a government to an inventor assuring him or her the sole right to make, use, and sell his invention for a certain period of time. 

A '''trademark''' is a word, name, symbol, phrase or slogan, or a combination of these items used to mark and distinguish goods or services to indicate their source or origin.

A '''copyright''' protects the writings of an author against copying. Literary, dramatic, musical, and artistic works are included within the protection of the copyright law. A copyright protects the form of expression rather than the subject matter of the work.
