work or invention that is the result of creativity, such as a manuscript or design;\u2002it is legally protected by a patent, trademark, or copyright. IP rights provide creators with the ability\u2002to benefit financially while protecting their creations from unauthorized use. There are three\u2002key types of intellectual property:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Trademarks<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Patents<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Copyrights<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>At its core, each type of IP protection has a\u2002different function and is applied to different types of creations.

Trademarks may consist of words, logos, slogans,\u2002colors, sounds, or shapes. For instance, the Nike &#8220;swoosh&#8221; logo and the\u2002statement &#8220;Just Do It&#8221; are registered trademarks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Purpose_of_a_Trademark\"><\/span><strong>Purpose of a Trademark<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Trademarks exist primarily to preserve brand identity and to avoid consumer\u2002confusion.
