A patent for an invention grants a property right to the inventor and is issued by the Patent and Trademark Office. The patent right protects the inventor by denying others the right to make, use, offer for sale, or sell the invention in the United States or import the invention into the United States.

A copyright is a form of protection provided to the authors of original works of authorship including literary, dramatic, musical, artistic, and certain other intellectual works, both published and unpublished. The copyright protects the form of expression rather than the subject matter of the writing.
