Patents
• A patent is a set of exclusive rights granted to a person (patentee) for a
fixed period of time in exchange for the regulated, public disclosure of
certain details of a device, method, process or composition of matter
(substance) (known as an invention) which is new, inventive, and useful
or industrially applicable.
• The exclusive right granted a patentee is the right to prevent others
from making, using, selling, offering to sell or importing the claimed
invention
• The rights given to the patentee do not include the right to make, use,
or sell the invention themselves.
• Negative right
• The patentee may have to comply with other laws and regulations to
make use of the claimed invention.
• So, for example, a pharmaceutical company may obtain a patent on a
new drug but will be unable to market the drug without regulatory
approval
