A patent is a license that protects an inventor’s right to his or her invention. Patents are issued by the United States Patent and Trademark Office and have a term of 20 years. Over this term, patent holders have the right to exclude others from making, using, or selling their invention.
Patents differ from trademarks and copyrights in that they provide protection for different things. Copyrights provide protection for original works of authorship, such as music, and trademarks cover words, symbols, names, or devices that distinguish a trademark holder’s goods from other goods.
There are three general types of patents:
Utility Patent: Protection for new processes, machines, manufactured products, or composition of matter. In addition, these patents cover improvements to any of these items.
Design Patent: Protection for original designs that are ornamental in nature for manufactured products.
Plant Patent: Protection for a new variety of plant that is asexually reproduced.
