As stated in the US Constitution, the intent of the patent law is to promote the progress of science and useful arts by securing to an inventor a right to a limited period of exclusivity during which the patent owner can exclude others from practicing her invention. In exchange for this period of exclusivity, the inventor must fully and publicly disclose all details known to her about how to practice the claimed invention.

A patent is a grant from a patent office, such as the United States Patent Office. "Patent Pending" is a phrase that an application for a patent has been filed and is in some stage in the process of obtaining a patent. Thus, a patent can be presently enforced while a patent that is merely pending is unenforceable but can mature into a patent that can be enforced. Once the pending patent matures, the patent owner can sue for back damages or reasonable royalties starting from the filing date of the patent.
