A patent is actually a grant of property right for the inventor of that thing. A patent protects new inventions and it also covers how things work and what they do, how the things go further, what they are made of and how they are made. It also provides right to owner to prevent others from making, using, importing or selling the invention without permission.
A patent is legally enforceable and gives the owner the exclusive right to commercially exploit the invention for the life of the patent. This is not automatic-you must apply for a patent to obtain exclusive rights to exploit your invention.
The procedure for granting patents with the requirements placed on the patentee and the extent of the exclusive rights vary widely between countries according to national laws and international agreements. Actually, a patent application must include one or more claims defining the invention, which must be new, inventive, and useful or industrially applicable. In most of the countries some subject areas are excluded from patents, such as business methods and mental acts. The exclusive right granted to a patentee in most countries is the right to prevent or exclude others from making, using, selling, offering to sell or importing the invention.
Patents grant an inventor the right to exclude others from producing or using the inventor's discovery or invention for a limited period of time. Congress enacted U.S. patent laws under its Constitutional grant of authority to protect the discoveries of inventors.
