A patent is an exclusive right gran

A patent is an exclusive right granted for an invention, which is a product or a
process that provides a new way of doing something, or offers a new technical
solution to a problem. It provides protection for the invention to the owner of the
patent. The protection is granted for a limited period, i.e 20 years. Patent protection
means that the invention cannot be commercially made, used, distributed or sold
without the patent owner's consent. A patent owner has the right to decide who may -
or may not - use the patented invention for the period in which the invention is
protected. The patent owner may give permission to, or license, other parties to use
the invention on mutually agreed terms. The owner may also sell the right to the
invention to someone else, who will then become the new owner of the patent. Once a
patent expires, the protection ends, and an invention enters the public domain, that is,
2
the owner no longer holds exclusive rights to the invention, which becomes available
to commercial exploitation by others.
All patent owners are obliged, in return for patent protection, to publicly
disclose information on their invention in order to enrich the total body of technical
knowledge in the world. Such an ever-increasing body of public knowledge promotes
further creativity and innovation in others. In this way, patents provide not only
protection for the owner but valuable information and inspiration for future
generations of researchers and inventors.
