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 work. As responsible digital citizens, it is important to respect these protections by not

copying or misusing others’ ideas or brand identities.
