Copyright protects original works of authorship, while a patent protects inventions or discoveries.
A trademark protects words, phrases, symbols, or designs identifying the source of the goods or services of one party and distinguishing them from others.
The law provides certain ways in which copyright works may be used.
Fair use Public domain Library privilege Copying for examinations and copying for instruction Alternative Licenses (e.g. Creative Commons)
The works are publicly accessible. Not everything posted on the internet is public domain.
Universal Access to research, education and culture. Copyright was created long before the emergence of the Internet, and can make it hard to legally perform actions we take for granted on the network: copy, paste, edit source, and post to the Web. Provides a free, public, and standardized infrastructure that creates a balance between the reality of the Internet and the reality of copyright laws.
