Patents I
If the grant of a patent is the grant of a monopoly, the patent system may stifle competition and result in higher prices, lower quality, and shortages. Contrary to a common pulbic misconception, a patent is ont a right to practice or use the invention. A patent is, in effect, a limited property right that the government offers to inventors in exchange for their agreement to share the details of their inventions with the public. In order to otbain a patent, an applicant must provide a written description of his or her invention in suffciient detail for a person skilled in the art (i.e., the relevant area of technology) to make and use the invention. In addition, at the end of teh specification, the applicant must proivde one or more claims that defien what the applicant regards as his or her invention.
