    Patents and trademarks are real-world examples of how ownership is protected and credit is
                     given to creators. A patent safeguards new inventions, such as a gadget or software, while a
                     trademark protects names, logos or symbols that represent a brand, like the Nike tick or the
                     Amul girl. These rights ensure that innovators and companies receive recognition for their original

                     misusing others’ ideas or brand identities.
