); (ii) new, original, and ornamental designs of manufactured articles (design patents); and (iii) distinct
and new varieties of plants (plant patents). Patents are regulated exclusively at the federal level by the U.S. Patent and Trademark
Office, or the USPTO, and the designated federal courts. The USPTO decides in the first instance which patent protections to grant and
also provides legal and regulatory guidance for inventors seeking patent protections. Once the USPTO grants patent protection, an inventor
seeking to enforce his or her patent rights against another party must bring a claim in federal court. The U.S. Court of Appeals
for the Federal Circuit has exclusive authority to review USPTO patent decisions as well as lower court patent infringement decisions.
A party seeking further review may petition the U.S. Supreme Court to review the decisions of the U.S. Court of Appeals for
the Federal Circuit. The U.S. Supreme Court has discretion over whether to hear such cases.

Trademarks include brand
names, symbols, slogans, packaging and other designs that are used by an entity to identify and distinguish its goods or services in
a particular marketplace. Trademarks are regulated in a similar manner as patents by the same government entities, with two key differences.
First, trademark rights do not require registration; rather, a party establishes trademark rights through commercial use of the mark.
However, trademark registration can strengthen protections. Second, trademarks are also protected and regulated at the state level, which
means that state enforcers also oversee trademark protections, and that trademark disputes can be litigated in both state and federal
court.

Copyrights protect original
works of intellectual and artistic expression and cover a wide variety of content, including magazines and movies. Copyrights are regulated
exclusively at the federal level under a regime separate from the one that applies to patent and trademark protection. An author automatically
obtains a copyright over work as soon as it is committed to a medium, including paper, film or electronic memory. The U.S. Copyright
Office oversees copyright protections and provides legal and regulatory guidance to authors. It also allows authors to register copyrighted
material, which is in turn recorded and stored in the Library of Congress. Although registration is not necessary to obtain copyright
protection, it is generally a prerequisite for a copyright holder to seek enforcement in court. Federal courts adjudicate most copyright
disputes, while the Copyright Claims Board has authority to resolve
