A patent is an exclusive right granted by a government to an inventor or holder of an invention, allowing them to have control over the production, sale, and use of that invention for a specified period, typically 20 years.
With a patent, the inventor can prevent others from using, manufacturing, or selling their invention without authorization, providing incentives for innovation and protecting intellectual property.
To obtain a patent, the invention must be new, useful, and non-obvious, and must be properly documented and submitted to the relevant patent office.
