Difference between Copyright and Patent:
When you invent something new, something that is unique it is liable to receive a patent. However, copyright is related to artistic works and intellectual property. A copyright works according to The Copyright Act, 1957. Artistic works that are covered under copyright includes literary, musical, dramatic, cinematography and artistic works of Entertainment industry.
A patent has a validity of 20 years, after which the invention is open to the public. Copyright has a longer validity of a lifetime of the owner and another sixty years after that.
A copyright protects the expression of an idea while a patent protects the idea itself. Patent works more on a design while copyright is another work of an already described design.
Patent works in a very complex way. Its registration and verification are much longer and tedious. Copyright is much easier to get.
