What role do patents play in everyday life?
Patented inventions have pervaded every aspect of human life, from electric lighting (patents held by Edison and Swan) and sewing machines (patents held by Howe and Singer), to magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) (patents held by Damadian) and the iPhone (patents held by Apple).
In return for patent protection, all patent owners are obliged to publicly disclose information on their inventions in order to enrich the total body of technical knowledge .In the world , This everincreasing body of public knowledge promotes further creativity and innovation . Patents therefore provide not only protection for their owners but also valuable information and inspiration for future generations of researchers and inventors.
How is a patent granted?
The first step in securing a patent is to file a patent application. The application generally contains the
title of the invention, as well as an indication of its technical field. It must include the background and
a description of the invention, in clear language and enough detail that an individual with an average understanding of the field could use or reproduce the invention. Such descriptions are usually accompanied by visual materials –drawings, plans or diagrams – that describe the invention in greater detail. The application also contains various “claims”, that is, information to help determine the
extent of protection to be granted by the patent.
