Patents are issued by government authorities, typically national or regional patent offices. In the United States, for example, patents are granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO). These patents provide inventors with exclusive rights to their inventions for a certain period, protecting them from unauthorized use or reproduction. The patent system encourages innovation by allowing inventors to potentially profit from their creations.
