A Patent is a set of exclusive rights granted by a state to a patentee (the inventor or assignee) for a fixed period of time in exchange for the regulated public disclosure of certain details of a device, method, process or composition of a matter (substance known as an invention), which is new, inventive, and useful or applicable industrially. Modern patents include a set of claims which provide the basis for determining the exclusive rights. The way the exclusive rights are determined is subjected to applicable laws.

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 claimed invention. The rights given to the patentee do not include the right to make, use, or sell the invention themselves. The patentee may have to comply with other laws and regulations to make use of the claimed invention.

The term “Patent” originates from the Latin word 'Patere' which means “To lay open” i.e., make available for public inspection. The term period for a design patent is 14 years and for an utility patent is 20 years.
