patents and trademarks
Patents are legal rights granted to inventors for their new inventions or useful improvements, allowing them to exclude others from making, using, or selling their invention for a limited period of time. Trademarks are distinctive symbols, words, phrases, designs, or a combination thereof, used to identify and distinguish goods or services from those of others. They function as brand indicators, enabling consumers to recognize and associate products with specific companies or organizations.
