Benefits of A Patent

A patent is the intellectual property right granted to inventors through the US Government. An inventor has the option of securing a utility patent, a design patent, or a plant patent, depending on what they have created. A patent guarantees another person cannot make, use, or sell the invention in the US. The patent holder essentially has a limited monopoly on the invention and possesses the exclusive rights to the original work.

5 Benefits Of A Patent

Once a patent is issued to you, you have full protection over your invention or idea for a specific amount of time, as determined by the patent you filed for. The benefits of a patent are:

• Prevent others from developing and selling the same invention
• Value increases over time
• Incur license fees from others using the invention
• A patent portfolio may increase your value in the eyes of potential investors and buyers
• Market your projects as patented products

Security for your invention is a huge incentive to apply for a benefit, but as you can see, financial benefits accompany a patent, too.
