COPYRIGHT
Copyrights protect the expression of ideas. Artistic works are generally considered to be expressions of ideas – books, paintings, songs, movies, and computer programs are examples. Copyright will not protect the process through which a particular work was created or the use of information within it (instructions, etc.).
COMPONENTS OF COPYRIGHT
Copyright contains moral rights and economic rights. Economic rights include the right to copy or publish a work or any substantial part of it. Moral rights include the right to the integrity of the work and the right to be listed as its author (though this is subject to certain limitations).
The author does not lose these rights when they allow their work to be copied or published. Moral rights can be waived, but they cannot be assigned to others.

WHILE

PATENT
A patent is a right, granted by the government, to exclude others from making, using, or selling your invention. Patents protect inventions such as new processes, machines, or chemicals. The central idea is that patents protect ideas, not just expressions of them. The main effect of patents is to give their holders the right to challenge any use of the invention by a third party. He thereby gave a temporary monopoly of exploitation which can be understood as a financial incentive for inventive industrial activities.
REGISTERING PATENTS
Patents must be registered. If you invent something and fail to register it, another person who independently invents or discovers your invention can patent it. There are 3 general requirements for patentability: (1) the invention must be novel, (2) it must be useful, and (3) it must show ingenuity (i.e. not be obvious). Patents expire for 20 years after the filing date, at which point they must be re-registered.

Patent inakuhusu zaidi, italinda na kukutambua wewe kuwa ndio mgunduzi, hivyo ukajitambulishe katika mamlaka husika za nchib ili akitokea mwingine na kudai ndio mmiliki ataambiwa sio yeye.
