The term of exclusive rights to a patent lasts for 20 years from the date the application is filed. After that, the material formerly patented is now available to the public unless the patent filer pays the renewal fees associated with the patent. Some examples of publicly available patents are powered flight, the English language, and the works of Shakespeare.
