A patent is a grant by a government that confers upon the creator of an idea, an invention, a process, etc., the exclusive right to produce, sell or profit from it for a number of years. It is the means by which you prevent another entity from profiting from your work. A patent infringement occurs if anyone copies your work without your express permission. You can sue for damages.
