Explanation:

- Here’s the thing: If you want rights over something you’ve invented—say, a new gadget or process—that’s what patents are for. Option 1 – Patent  – is the correct answer.

- Copyright (Option 2) is all about creative works: books, music, movies, paintings. It doesn’t protect inventions.

- Design (Option 3) covers the aesthetic look of a product. Think of the unique shape of a bottle or the pattern on a phone—not the actual invention behind it.

- Geographical Indicator (Option 4) is about products tied to a location, like Champagne from France or Darjeeling tea. It doesn’t relate to inventions at all.

So, if you’re talking about owning the rights to your invention, patents are your answer.
