Patents would be the most appropriate intellectual property right for Apple to use in order to stop others from copying their new technology invention. Patents protect new and useful inventions, granting exclusive rights to the inventor for a limited period of time in order to prevent others from making, using, selling, or importing the patented invention without permission.
