BPatent lawsCorrect

Patent laws specifically protect inventions, which can include novel algorithms, programming techniques, and processes within software that provide a new and useful solution. A patent grants the inventor exclusive rights to make, use, and sell the invention for a limited time.

CTrademark laws

Trademark laws protect brand names, logos, and slogans used to identify goods or services, not the underlying software functionality or algorithms.

DCopyright laws

Copyright laws protect the expression of an idea, such as the actual source code or compiled binary, but not the underlying ideas, algorithms, or functional concepts themselves.
