There are four main areas of intellectual property rights:
Copyright For Material
Literary and artistic material, music, films, sound recordings and broadcasts, software and multimedia
Design Rights
You can have registered and unregistered design rights for designs and drawings
Trademarks
If a product is similar to another they can be confused. For example if an inferior product imitates a quality one with similar packaging, or a company uses a similar colour scheme or logo (see Orange vs EasyJet case)
Patents
Protects a physical invention
