Frequently Asked Questions: Patents Basics

A patent is an exclusive right granted for an invention, which is a product or a process that provides, in general, a new way of doing something or offers a new technical solution to a problem. Technical information about the invention must be disclosed to the public in a patent application to get a patent.

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. In other words, patent protection means that the invention cannot be commercially made, used, distributed, imported, or sold by others without the patent owner’s consent

Patents for inventions in any technology field may be granted, from an everyday kitchen utensil to a nanotechnology chip. An invention can be a product – such as a chemical compound, a process, or a process for producing a specific chemical compound. Many products contain a number of inventions. For example, a laptop computer can involve hundreds of inventions working together.

Patent protection is granted for a limited period, generally 20 years from the application’s filing date.

This means that once a patent is granted, the inventor has exclusive rights to their invention for that period. After that time, the invention becomes public domain and can be used by anyone without permission or payment to the inventor. It’s important to note that patent protection varies by country, so it’s best to consult with a lawyer or patent agent for specific information on your invention and the protection it may receive.

Patents are territorial rights, which means that their exclusive rights generally only apply in the country or region where they have been filed and granted, according to the laws of that specific country or region.

It’s important to keep this in mind when considering patent protection for your invention and to seek advice from a legal expert or patent agent who can provide specific information on the protection your invention may receive in different countries.

Typically, the right owner initiates enforcement of patent rights in court. A court of law typically has the authority to stop patent infringement. However, the patent owner is primarily responsible for monitoring, identifying, and taking action against infringers of their patent.

Licensing a patent essentially means that the patent owner grants permission to someone else to use, sell, or create their patented invention. This is done based on agreed upon terms and conditions, including payment and duration of the license. There are many reasons why a patent owner may choose to license their invention, such as lack of manufacturing facilities or wanting to expand into different markets. By entering into a licensing agreement, both parties can benefit from a mutually-beneficial business relationship. It’s important to note that licensing a patent does not involve selling or transferring ownership, and the patent owner retains property rights over the invention

While it is certainly true that not all enterprises develop patentable inventions, it is a wrong to believe that patents only apply to complex physical or chemical processes and products or that they are only useful to large corporations. Patents can be obtained for any area of technology from paper clips to computers.

Moreover, when people think of patents, what usually comes to mind are major scientific breakthroughs such as Edison’s first electric lamp, or large corporations investing in research and development. But, in fact, most patents aren’t granted for groundbreaking scientific breakthroughs, but rather for inventions that make improvements to existing inventions. For example the second or third generation of a product or a process, that works in a more cost-effective or efficient manner.

Certain countries also have specific legal provisions for protecting incremental innovations. These are called utility models, and they tend to have a shorter duration than patents and are generally easier to obtain.
