Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Patents provide legal protection to the owner of a technology by granting them exclusive rights to manufacture, use, and sell the technology for a limited period of time, typically 20 years from the date of filing the patent. This prevents others from imitating the technology without permission and can give the owner a competitive advantage in the market.
