A copyright provides its holder the right to restrict unauthorized copying and reproduction of intellectual property, such as literary work, movie, music, painting, software, etc...

Patent:
A patent is a set of exclusive rights granted by a government to an inventor or applicant for a limited amount of time (normally 20 years from the filing date).

Trademark:
A trademark is a distinctive name, phrase, symbol, design, picture, or style used by a business to identify and/or distinguish itself and its products to consumers.

Does copyright law protect domain names?
Copyright law does not protect domain names. The Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN), a nonprofit organization that has assumed the responsibility for domain name system management, administers the assignation of domain names through accredited registers.
