inventor's rights
Inventor’s rights are legal protections given to individuals who create new inventions. These rights typically allow the inventor to control how their invention is used, made, sold, or distributed for a certain period, usually through patents. This temporary monopoly encourages innovation by ensuring inventors can benefit financially from their work. After the patent expires, the invention enters the public domain, making it freely available for others to use. Essentially, inventor’s rights incentivize creativity by providing recognition and economic rights, while balancing public access once those rights end.
