A patent is a legal grant giving an inventor the exclusive right to exploit an invention for a limited period.
In the United Kingdom, patents are granted through the Intellectual Property Office (IPO).
To obtain a patent, the invention must be new, non-obvious, and capable of industrial application.
A patent normally lasts for 20 years from the filing date, provided renewal fees continue to be paid.
If another person infringes the patent, the patentee may seek remedies such as an injunction, damages, or an account of profits.
