                   publish, record the literary, artistic, or musical use of his or her work.

                 •  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 period.
                 •  Trademark: It is a symbol or word legally registered
                   or established and used as representing a company
                   or a product. Trademarks help to protect brand
                   names, logo, and design of the product.
                 Plagiarism refers to the usage or imitation of the language and thoughts of another person
                 projected as one’s own original work. It is considered a crime or fraudulent act.
