Patent is when a person invents an idea or product and in order to make it their own so that no one else can use it, they apply for a patent. This insures that only the person who originated the idea may use or profit off of it.

What does patent search mean?

There are two kinds of search that people refer to as a patent search. 1. A search for patents and patent applications that might protect parts of something that you want to make/do. You'd do this kind of patent search if you wanted to know whether you'd infringe someone else's patent if you made/did that something. 2. A search for prior information that might show that an invention is not patentable. You'd do this kind of search if you wanted to know whether you could get a patent for an invention, or if you wanted to know whether someone else's patent is valid. The more usual meaning is number 1.
