Patent Protection

Patent protection is a legal right granted to inventors, allowing them to control the use of their inventions for a specific period, usually 20 years. This means others cannot make, sell, or use the patented invention without permission. The aim is to encourage innovation by rewarding inventors for their contributions, providing them an opportunity to recoup their investments in research and development. To obtain a patent, the invention must be novel, non-obvious, and useful. Once patented, inventors can license their patents or enforce their rights against unauthorized use.
