Patents are legal instruments that grant inventors exclusive rights to their inventions for a limited period, typically 20 years from the filing date. They protect intellectual property by preventing others from making, using, or selling the invention without permission. Patents are crucial in fostering innovation, encouraging research and development, and influencing competitive dynamics in technology, pharmaceuticals, and manufacturing sectors. They also serve as valuable assets in corporate strategy and licensing agreements.
