**As a lawyer, I would advise you that there are several types of intellectual property rights that businesses can protect. These include:**

1. **Trademarks:**
2. **Copyrights:**
3. **Patents:**
4. **Trade Secrets:**
5. **Domain Names:**

It is important to note that certain limitations and exceptions to these intellectual property rights exist. For example, fair use and first sale doctrines may limit the control a copyright owner has over their work after it has been distributed. Also, some inventions may not be eligible for patent protection, such as those that are considered abstract ideas or laws of nature.

If you are seeking to protect your business's intellectual property, I would recommend consulting with a licensed attorney who specializes in intellectual property law. They can provide tailored advice and guidance on how to best protect your specific intellectual property assets.
