Patents and engineering Guided question: What is a patent and how are they useful to engineers

What is a patent? A patent is a right granted to an inventor by the federal government that permits the inventor to exclude others from making, selling or using the invention for a period of time. The patent system is designed to encourage inventions that are unique and useful to society. Congress was given the power to grant patents in the Constitution, and federal statutes and rules govern patents. The U.S. Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) grants patents for inventions that meet statutory criteria. The following provides a general overview of what a patent is.

Types of Patents Utility Patents: The most common type of patent, these are granted to new machines, chemicals, and processes. Design Patents: Granted to protect the unique appearance or design of manufactured objects, such as the surface ornamentation or overall design of the object. PARTNER DISCUSSION: what are some examples of these two kinds of patents?
