Question

Elan developed a new board game concept that she’s pitching to a major toy manufacturer. What type of laws protect her from other people’s use of her idea without her permission? (1 point) Responses copyright

Answer 1

The type of laws that protect Elan's board game concept from unauthorized use by others would primarily be **copyright law**, which protects the expression of ideas (such as the specific artwork, graphic design, and written content of the game). Additionally, she may want to consider **trademark law** for protecting the branding (like the game name and logo) and **patent law** if there are unique game mechanics or inventions involved that meet the criteria for patentability. However, in the context of just the idea itself, copyright is the most relevant.
