Patents

A patent is an intellectual property right granted by the Government of the United States of America to an inventor to exclude others from making, using, offering for sale, or selling the invention throughout the United States or importing the invention into the United States for a limited time in exchange for public disclosure of the invention when the patent is granted.

Design patents may be granted to anyone who invents a new, original, and ornamental design for an article of manufacture.
