What is a Patent?
A patent is a legal right granted by a government to an inventor, giving them exclusive rights to their invention for a specified period, typically 20 years from the filing date. This means that the inventor can prevent others from making, using, selling, or distributing the patented invention without permission. Patents are essential for encouraging innovation, as they provide inventors with the incentive to invest time and resources into developing new ideas.
