Explain the difference between 'Fair Use' and 'Creative Commons' licensing for copyrighted material, as described in the text.

There are four main types:

• Copyright: Protects original creative works like software, stories, and music.
• Trademarks: Protects brand names, logos, and symbols.
• Patents: Protects inventions and new ideas.
• Trade secrets: Protects confidential business information and secrets.

Software is an example of intellectual property protected primarily by copyright, as it is a creative work. This prevents unauthorized copying or use.

Licensing allows users (like students) to work with protected material without the full owner's permission. This is a legal agreement that specifies how the work can be used, shared, or performed publicly.

Final answer: The four main types of intellectual property are copyright (protects creative works like software), trademarks (protects brands), patents (protects inventions), and trade secrets (protects confidential info). Software uses copyright and Creative Commons licensing for student use.
The 4 types of IP are copyright, trademarks, patents, and trade secrets. Software is protected by copyright with Creative Commons licenses.
