An invention patent is a legal protection granted to inventors for their unique creations. This type of patent gives the inventor exclusive rights to make, use, and sell their invention for a specific period, usually 20 years. To qualify, the invention must be novel, non-obvious, and useful, meaning it should provide some practical benefit. To obtain an invention patent, the inventor must submit a detailed application to a patent office, such as the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO). The application includes descriptions, claims, and drawings of the invention, which are then examined to ensure they meet the necessary criteria for patentability.
