|---|---|
| ACCESS COPYRIGHT | Organization who protects the intellectual property of creators, authors, and publishers by ensuring they are compensated when others use their works. |
| COPYRIGHT | Legal idea that grants the creator of a work the exclusive rights to it for a length of time. Also determines who can use the works, how it is reproduced or shared, whether or not it can be used for financial gain, and other aspects. |
| INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY | Legal idea that gives exclusive rights to the literary and artistic "creations of minds". Broad term that encompasses copyright, trademarks, patents, industrial design rights, etc. |

| TRADE-MARKS | A symbol, sign, or expression that recognizes and distinguishes a particular product from others (often competitors). Used to claim exclusive rights on a product or service |
| PUBLIC DOMAIN | Refers to the usage of a work that is available (or belongs) to the public. These works aren't subject to copyright laws, as their intellectual property rights have often either been forfeited or expired. |
| MORAL RIGHTS | The creator's rights to have their name attributed to their work. Also gives the creator the right to prevent the work from being manipulated, distorted, or reproduced without their consent. |
