Patent Application

A patent application is a formal request submitted to a government authority to obtain a patent, which grants exclusive rights to an inventor for their invention. This process involves describing the invention in detail, explaining how it works, and demonstrating its uniqueness compared to existing products or ideas. If granted, the patent prevents others from making, using, or selling the invention without permission, typically for a period of 20 years. The application helps protect intellectual property and encourages innovation by providing inventors with the security to invest time and resources into their ideas.
