patent for radar technology

A patent for radar technology grants the inventor exclusive rights to their specific method or device for detecting objects using radio waves. It protects innovations in how radar systems emit, receive, and interpret signals to locate and identify objects like aircraft, ships, or weather formations. This legal protection encourages development by ensuring inventors can benefit from their inventions without unauthorized copying. Once granted, it typically lasts for 20 years, during which others cannot produce or sell the same radar technology without permission.
