Patents

What is a Patent?

A patent is a form of intellectual property granted by the United States Government, providing the inventor with the exclusive right to prevent others from making, using, selling, or importing the patented invention within the United States for a specified period. In return, the inventor must publicly disclose the details of the invention.

There are three primary types of patents:

Utility Patents: Granted for new and useful processes, machines, articles of manufacture, compositions of matter, or any new and useful improvements thereof. This is the most common type of patent. [Learn more about the utility patent process here.]

Design Patents: Granted for new, original, and ornamental designs for articles of manufacture. These patents protect the unique appearance or design of a product.

Plant Patents: Granted for anyone who invents or discovers and asexually reproduces any distinct and new variety of plant.
