                  •  Copyright: It is the legal right given exclusively to a person for a fixed number of years to
                     publish and record the literary, artistic, or musical use of his or her work. Copyright for work
                     lasts for 70 years, even after the death of the originator.
                  •  Patent: It is the right that gives an inventor the complete right to make, use, and sell his or her
                     work for a specific time. Usually, the validity period for a Patent is 20 years.

                  •  Trademark: It is a symbol or word legally registered or established and used to represent
                     a company or a product. Trademarks help to protect brand names, logos, and designs of
                     products. The validity period for a Trademark is 10 years and can be renewed after that.
