<human>:  What is the difference between copyright and patent laws?
<bot>: The main difference between copyright and patent laws is that copyright generally protects original works of authorship, such as books, music, art, and literature, while a patent protects an invention or discovery. Copyright law grants the creators of a work exclusive rights to it like reproduction, distribution, and public display, while patent law grants the inventor of a product or process exclusive rights to make, use, and sell it.
