Protection schemes are the mechanisms used to prevent others from making, using, and selling intellectual property without permission.
The United States has a number of treaties and agreements with other countries that provide protection for intellectual property rights. Some notable examples include the Berne Convention, the Paris Convention, and the Trade-Related Aspects of Intellectual Property Rights (TRIPS) Agreement.
The U.S. has a number of regulations and laws that govern intellectual property rights, including the Copyright Act of 1976, the Patent Act of 1958, and the Trademark Act of 1946. These laws provide for exclusive rights to create, reproduce, and distribute intellectual property, as well as for damages and penalties for infringement.
