2. What is patent?
 Patent, is a legal document granted by the government giving an inventor the
exclusive right to make, use, and sell an invention for a specified number of years.
 Patents are also available for significant improvements on previously invented items.
 The goal of the patent system is to encourage inventors to advance the state of
technology by awarding them special rights to benefit from their inventions.
 Books, movies, and works of art cannot be patented, but protection is available for
such items under the law of copyright.
 Patent law is one branch of the larger legal field known as intellectual property, which
also includes trademark and copyright law.
 The first patent law was passed by the city of Venice in 1474.

3. What is patentable?
 To qualify for a patent, the invention must meet three basic tests.
 First, it must be novel, meaning that the invention did not previously exist.
 Second, the invention must be non-obvious, which means that the invention
must be a significant improvement to existing technology. Simple changes to
previously known devices do not comprise a patentable invention.
 Finally, the proposed invention must be useful. Legal experts commonly
interpret this to mean that no patent will be granted for inventions that can
only be used for an illegal or immoral purpose.
