Copyright and intellectual property rights are the legal definition of material and moral rights that can be owned on a work. These rights are protected by the creator of the work and it is illegal for others to steal them. A trademark is a symbol that enables a company to distinguish its goods or services from those of other companies. Trademarks can be registered and can consist of any type of sign such as words, shapes, colors, letters, numbers, sounds, and forms of goods or packaging. A patent is a document that certifies the owner of an invention and is a kind of personal property.
