A patent is a statutory right granted by the government subject
to fulfilling certain criteria. Though the subject matter of
protection differs depending on the industry, the common rules for
all inventions are that they should be novel, non-obvious and
applicable to the industry. A patent also provides the legal basis
for monopoly in the commercialization of a product or process.
