Patent Office

A Patent Office is a government agency responsible for reviewing and granting patents, which protect inventions and innovations. When an inventor creates a new product or process, they can apply for a patent to gain exclusive rights to that invention for a certain period. This prevents others from making, using, or selling it without permission. The Patent Office assesses the application to ensure the invention is novel, useful, and non-obvious. Patents encourage creativity and investment in new ideas by providing legal protection, thus fostering technological advancement and economic growth.
