Patents are covered by federal statutes. In the USA they are in Title 35 US Code. Each country has its own laws.
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.

Can you sell an idea without a patent?
Yes, you can sell your idea without a patent. A patent is a right granted by the government to exclude others from making, using, selling, offering for sale or importing your invention. You do not need to have a patent in order to sell your idea. The purchaser may desire to file a patent. You may also decide to protect your idea using trade secret laws (like the recipe for Coca Cola). Please be sure to use a non-disclosure agreement when discussing your idea with a potential purchaser. You do not want them hearing your idea and then exploiting it on their own.

How do patents encourage technological progress?
Patents are used to balance the right of the individual with the concept of the public good. In general, the purpose of a patent is two-fold: to allow the inventor of some new thing to retain exclusive rights as to its use for a limited period of time, and after that time to ensure that the details of the invention are available for public use.
By granting the patent-holder exclusive rights to their invention, use and duplication of the invention is at the sole discretion of the inventor, potentially allowing them to profit from it. However, after a period of time those exclusive rights cease to apply, and the new invention becomes available to the public. This contributes to the public good by increasing the amount of general knowledge available.
