A trademark protects distinctive signs such as words, logos, symbols, or combinations thereof that identify goods or services.

Industrial design protection covers the aesthetic aspects of an article, including shape, configuration, pattern, or ornamentation.
Term: The initial term is 10 years, extendable by 5 additional years.

Copyright protects original literary, artistic, musical, dramatic, and software works fixed in a tangible form. It grants creators exclusive economic and moral rights over reproduction, distribution, and adaptation of their works.
