A patent is an official piece of paper
that is given by the government to an inventor. It means
that the inventor is the only person who is allowed to
make his invention. No one else is allowed to make his
invention unless he says so.If it is a very good invention
then the inventor can make lots of money from his idea.
If
someone else tries to use his idea without the inventor
agreeing, it is considered stealing and the person could
be sent to jail and fined lots of money.
It is very important that the correct details of the invention
are written on the patent to make sure that there is no
confusion.
