Explanation:
A patent is a set of exclusive rights granted by a state to an inventor or his assignee
copyright is a form of intellectual property, which secures to its holder the exclusive right to
produce copies of his or her works of original expression, such as a literary work, movie, musical
work or sound recording, painting, photograph, computer program, or industrial design, for a
defined, yet extendable, period of time. It does not cover ideas or facts. Copyright laws protect
activity of observing the content that appears on a computer monitor or watching what a user is
typing. Snooping also occurs by using software programs to remotely monitor activity on a
computer or network device. Hackers or attackers use snooping techniques and equipment such
as keyloggers to monitor keystrokes, capture passwords and login information, and to intercept e-mail and other private communications. Sometimes, organizations also snoop their employees
incorrect. A utility model is an intellectual property right to protect inventions.
