What, exactly, is a patent?

A patent is a subset of Intellectual Property (IP) law. The most commonly understood definition, is that the owner or creator of an invention is given exclusive rights by the U.S. Government allowing the patent holder to exclude others from making, using, or selling the invention without express permission from the owner. There are three types of patents.

Utility patents which cover the functional parts of an invention. Think of the parts that make a tool work.
Design patents which cover the look and feel of the invention.
Plant patents which is a person or a corporation that invents or discovers a unique form of plant.
