Patent Primer
The Patent Primer is what every business owner should know about patents and provide general information about intellectual property matters. Intellectual property can include anything from patents, trademarks, copyright, to trade secrets.
Many companies succeed because they have developed products or processes that are superior to those of their competition. By obtaining a patent, the company can exclude its competitors from making the product, or using the improved process, for a given length of time. They also have protectable rights in the event of patent infringement.
