What type of law protects technological and utilitarian inventions? Multiple ChoiceCopyright Patent BirthrightTrademark

Answer

The type of law that protects technological and utilitarian inventions is Patent law.

Patents give inventors the exclusive rights to make, use, sell, and distribute their inventions for a certain period, typically 20 years from the application date. This legal protection encourages innovation by ensuring that inventors can benefit financially from their creations without the risk of others copying them.

In contrast, copyright protects original works of authorship (like literature and art), trademarks protect brand identifiers and symbols, and "birthright" is not a recognized form of legal protection in this context.

Thus, the correct answer is Patent.
