Patent law derives from the letters patent ("open letters") given by sovereigns to an individual or corporation to endow them with rights, title, or (as in this case) a monopoly. Letters patent date back to 1331 in England, but even in Ancient Greece there are records of creators being granted a temporary monopoly on their inventions.
