There are 4 ways to protect "intellectual property"

PATENTS provide rights for up to 20 years for inventions in three broad categories:
Utility patents protect useful processes, machines, articles of manufacture, and compositions of matter. Some examples: fiber optics, computer hardware, medications.
Design patents guard the unauthorized use of new, original, and ornamental designs for articles of manufacture. The look of an athletic shoe, a bicycle helmet, the Star Wars characters are all protected by design patents.
Plant patents are the way we protect invented or discovered, asexually reproduced plant varieties. Hybrid tea roses, Silver Queen corn, Better Boy tomatoes are all types of plant patents.

TRADEMARKS protect words, names, symbols, sounds, or colors that distinguish goods and services. Trademarks, unlike patents, can be renewed forever as long as they are being used in business. The roar of the MGM lion, the pink of the Owens-Corning insulation, and the shape of a Coca-Cola bottle are familiar trademarks.

COPYRIGHTS protect works of authorship, such as writings, music, and works of art that have been tangibly expressed. Copyrights are registered which last the life of the author plus 70 years. Gone With The Wind (the book and the film), Beatles recordings, and video games are all works that are copyrighted.

Nearly all the material on the Web is covered by intellectual property laws. If you produce content in your personal time, you automatically own the rights to it. If you produce content at work, your agency likely owns it.
Videos, blog posts, and music (especially music videos) are all examples of works automatically protected by copyright (and probably trademark law). They don’t need to say “copyright” or have a “©” mark next to it, either–once it’s created, it’s copyrighted.
Assume All Material is Copyrighted
