Patent 2 articles

A patent is a legal intellectual-property right that can exclude others from making, using, selling or importing a claimed invention for a limited term, subject to jurisdiction and enforceability. In biotechnology and pharmaceuticals, patents may cover compositions of matter, biological constructs, formulations, manufacturing processes, methods of use or platform technologies. Patent protection is distinct from regulatory approval and does not guarantee freedom to operate; commercial development also depends on the claims and rights held by other parties.
