What is a patent? In this video I will give you a definition of a patent
Patents are protecting inventions. So if you have invented a new hairdryer for elephants or even more useful stuff like flying cars you can apply for a patent with your national or regional patent office.

A technical aspect to the invention is mandatory in Europe and most countries in order to get a patent. And the most recent caselaw in the US like the Alice decision of the US Supreme Court suggests that the US is moving there as well.

Drafting and prosecuting a patent is rather complicated – so help of a patent attorney is highly recommended.

A patent will then be granted if the claims of the patent are new and inventive or non-obvious. To improve the chances of a patent to be granted you need to find out what has been known about similar technical concepts before even filing the patent application.
Once filed, the patent office will search millions of documents in many databases to find out whether your invention is new. After the office has determined novelty, it will also find out whether your invention is obvious in view of the documents that the office has found during the search - which is another objection that the office can raise.

After grant of the patent, people who want to use your technology will have to ask you for a license to the patent. A patent will typically last a maximum of 20 years starting from the filing date. You will have to pay renewal fees during the lifetime of the patent. And once the patent ceases to exist, anyone is free to use your technology.
