Frequently Asked Questions about Patent

A patent is a legal grant of protection given to an inventor (person or company) to protect the intellectual property rights of that party's invention. When a patent is awarded on a service or product, that gives the patent owner the legal right to block another party from borrowing or stealing the intellectual property of the invention.

Only an individual inventor can be awarded a solo patent for the idea of the product or service. If two or more people create an invention, then they would apply for a patent as joint inventors.‎

When it comes to understanding patents, it's important to learn that a company can be the owners of a patent you discover while working for the company. This can happen due to one or two conditions: 1) if you signed an employee agreement that assigned invention rights to the company, or 2) you were specifically hired to create inventions.

If you develop a new invention (say, a new vaccine) while you're employed with a company, the company will likely own the patent, which is good in the United States for 20 years.‎

Learning about a patent application process and the subsequent award can help you increase your capabilities in business law and intellectual property knowledge. If you work in a medical science organization or a technology company that creates new innovations on a regular basis, it pays to know about the patent application process and award approval. This understanding can be a great foundation for you to build a career in copyright protection, trademarks, business innovation, and patent applications.‎
