The Difference Between Copyrighting Software And Patenting Software 

The United States government offers multiple ways to protect intellectual property rights. Intellectual property refers to creations such as inventions, literary works, designs, symbols, names and images (logos), or similar objects. There are three main types: a copyright, a patent, and a trademark (including service marks). Most people have heard of these three types and are generally aware of them. However, despite their uniqueness, many people confuse the three.
