A patent grants a "monopoly"; success is court when suing challengers is "guaranteed".
- yp_master 13y agoHere are the answers: T F F FWIW, IAAAL. I suspect not many readers understand the above facts. If you purchase a US patent, this is what you get: a right to sue. Nothing more and nothing less. If you have any doubts that the above is true, ask your lawyer. Knowing exactly what a patent is should make you think more carefully about what a patent may or may not "incentivize".
