Frequently Asked Questions

A patent is a legal right granted to an inventor or applicant by a government authority, typically for a specified period. It provides exclusive rights to the inventor, preventing others from making, using, or selling their invention without permission. Patents are granted for new and inventive products, processes, or methods that are useful and have industrial applicability. They encourage innovation by offering inventors protection and the opportunity to commercially exploit their inventions.

A patent grants exclusive rights to inventors:
- Exclusive rights to the invention
- Ability to commercialize it
- Legal protection for enforcement
- Limited duration (typically 20 years)

Patent rights are not universal. Each country has its own patent system. International agreements like the PCT help simplify the process.
