Explanation:

Every creator of artistic or intellectual works has rights over them. They are guaranteed through copyright law, which is exactly about giving authors security about the rights of their creations. This law serves to protect both domestic and foreign artists within the territory of the country.  On the other hand, a patent protects an invention, a product unheard of in the market. It is a temporary property title granted by the state and is generally granted to industries and scientists.
