Trademark Vs Patent Vs Copyright
Firstly a trademark is protecting something that can be sold or a company who sells things. Then others cannot sell the items as a different name.
Copyright and Patent are more complicated to explain, you can copyright things that are originally your own work, for example a book or an article. Then nobody can use your book or article without permission however they can produce some original work of their own similar to yours.
While a patent is mostly for inventions that are your original idea, to get a patent you must pay and the invention is reviewed by a board and then passed if it is original. Nobody else can patent an invention the same as yours or can they get a patent for something similar with just a few differences. They need to be completely original.
