Answer 1

An individual or organization could use **patents** and **trade secret rights** to protect their intellectual property. Both options provide legal protections for different types of intellectual property.

- **Patents** protect inventions and processes for a certain period, preventing others from making, using, or selling the invention without permission.
- **Trade secret rights** protect confidential business information that provides a competitive edge, as long as the information remains secret.

The other options, **arbitrary laws** and **suggestive laws**, do not specifically relate to intellectual property protection.
