Patentes

“Patentes” is the Spanish word for “patents.” A patent is a legal right granted by a governmental authority to an inventor or assignee for a certain period, typically 20 years from the filing date. This right gives the patent holder exclusive control over the use, production, and sale of the invention, preventing others from using or replicating it without permission. Patents are designed to encourage innovation by providing inventors with protection for their creations, thus enabling them to potentially reap financial rewards from their inventions. The patent system varies by country, including specific requirements for filing, types of inventions that can be patented (such as processes, machines, or compositions of matter), and limitations on the duration and scope of patent protection.
