If you've come up with a new way of doing something or a new technical solution to a problem, you're entitled to a patent, which grants you an exclusive right to use your innovation. Applicants for patent registration must provide technical information regarding their innovation via a patent application, which is open to both natural persons and corporations.
Patents are governed by both national and international conventions when they are granted and enforced. A patent holder has the right to restrict others from commercially creating, using, selling, importing, or distributing his or her invention without authorization in most jurisdictions.
