More precisely (and note that I'm not an IP attorney, and neither do I 
play one on television, but I do have a general understanding of the 
basics of IP law):

A patent protects an *idea.* It places a very heavy burden of 
proof-of-originality upon the applicant, and has a relatively short term.

A copyright protects an *expression* of an idea. It is very easy to get, 
placing a very heavy burden of proof upon those seeking to invalidate 
it, and has a very long (perhaps too long, these days) term.

And a trademark registration protects a name, logo, or other branding 
identification for a commercial product, from those who would either 
wrongfully profit from the reputation of its maker, or intentionally 
damage that reputation, or both.
