To stop others from copying their invention related to a new technology that improves a main product, the company can use **patents**.
Patents protect new inventions or processes, giving the holder exclusive rights to use, sell, or license the invention for a certain period, typically 20 years from the filing date. Other forms of intellectual property mentioned, such as copyrights, registered designs, geographical indications, and trademarks, serve different purposes and may not adequately protect the underlying technology or invention itself.
