Struggling with IP for AILET: When the Concept of Originality Confuses

I'll be the first to admit, Intellectual Property was my Achilles' heel during the CLAT exam, and I'm having the same issue now with AILET. I used to get bogged down in the nuances of patents vs trademarks, and the difference between copyright and performers' rights, yada yada yada. The more I read, the more I got confused. I mean, who can remember the distinction between a work's public domain vs a perpetual right to be forgotten? I used to cram entire books into one night, thinking that would somehow magically stick the concepts in my brain. Newsflash: it doesn't.

This time around, I've taken a different approach. I've started making flashcards with key terms and definitions on one side and example questions on the other.
