Was ist der Unterschied zwischen Urheberrecht und Patentrecht?
What is the difference between copyright and patent law?
Protecting intellectual property (IP) is the aim of intellectual property rights. Unlike patent law, copyright law does not protect the technical invention of products or processes, but the work itself. This can be three seemingly simple lines of a poem or an artistically created, albeit illegal, graffito. Unlike patent law or trademark protection, copyright does not have to be applied for. It comes into force from the moment it is created and prohibits the use of the work of art without the author's permission.
