If Samsung developed a new camera sensor and wants to prevent others from copying their invention, the most relevant type of intellectual property protection they would use is **patents**. Patents protect inventions and allow the inventor to exclude others from making, using, selling, or distributing the patented invention without permission for a certain period of time, typically 20 years from the filing date.
Other forms of intellectual property mentioned, such as registered designs, copyrights, geographical indications, and trademarks, do not provide the same level of protection for inventions and technical innovations like a camera sensor does.
