Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Copyrights protect original works of authorship like literary, musical, and artistic works. Service mark registration protects a company's unique logo or symbol identifying their services. Trade name registration protects a company's name. Patents, on the other hand, protect useful inventions or discoveries and prevent others from making, using, or selling the same invention without the patent holder's permission.
