Too Afraid to Ask

A patent is a special permission from the government that allows someone to own an idea or invention. It means no one else can use that idea without asking first.

Technical Definition

A patent is a legal right granted by a government to an inventor, giving them exclusive rights to make, use, or sell their invention for a certain period of time. This prevents others from using the same invention without permission.
