How do patents differ from trademarks copyrights and designs

Patents protect functional inventions, trademarks protect brand identifiers (names, logos), copyrights protect creative works (books, music, art), and designs protect aesthetic appearance of products. Each protection has its own criteria, duration, and registration process. They can complement each other in an IP strategy.
