	Patent - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A patent is a set of exclusive rights granted by a state to a person for a fixed period of time in exchange for the regulated, public disclosure of certain details of a device, method, process or composition of matter (substance) (known as an invention) which is new, inventive, and useful or industrially applicable.
		Patents are typically enforced through civil lawsuits (for example, for a US patent, by an action for patent infringement in a United States federal court).
		Patent licensing agreements are effectively contracts in which the patent owner (the licensor) agrees not to sue the licensee for infringement of the licensor's patent rights.
