Patents
A patent is a legally enforceable monopoly right, granted by a government, over a device, substance, method or process that is new, inventive and useful.
A patent cannot protect purely mental processes such as artistic creations, mathematical models, plans or schemes.
The owner of a granted patent has the right to stop others making, selling, importing or otherwise using the patented invention for the life of the patent.
