Patent
Patent :
A patent is a passive protective right limited in time and geographically. The granting of a patent to an inventor does not, in itself, allow the inventor to practice the invention. Rather, it enables the patentee to prohibit others from commercially exploiting the invention for a certain period of time and in a defined geographical area. A patent is a deal, whereby an inventor agrees to disclose the invention and how to use it to the public, promoting further technological advance. In return, if the invention is new, involves an inventive step and is industrially applicable, the inventor receives a patent. This gives the inventor the possibility of profiting from the investments made for the invention
