A patent provides protection in the country where it is granted, but it doesn’t automatically extend to other countries. Inventors often apply for patents in multiple countries to secure broader protection.
A patent is a legal right granted to an inventor or creator, giving them exclusive rights to make, use, sell, and license their invention for a certain period (usually 20 years from the filing date). In exchange for this exclusive right, the inventor must publicly disclose the details of the invention, allowing others to learn from it once the patent expires. Patents are granted for inventions that are new, non-obvious, and useful. They can cover a wide range of inventions, such as products, processes, or improvements to existing inventions. By securing a patent, the inventor has control over how the invention is used and can prevent others from using, making, or selling it without permission
