Patent.

A patent gives an inventor the exclusive right to make, use, sell, or license an invention for a limited time (subject to requirements like novelty and non‑obviousness). Trademarks protect brand identifiers (names/logos), copyrights protect creative works (books, music, software code as expression), and "permission" is not an IP right (it's a license or consent granted by the rights holder).
