		The first English patent was granted in 1449 by Henry VI to John of Utynam, giving him a monopoly on the making of stained glass for a period of 20 years.
		Most patent laws require an invention to be: “new”—most commonly defined as not being in the public domain anywhere in the world before the date on which the patent application was first filed; and “inventive”—usually taken to mean not being obvious to the skilled worker in the technology concerned.
		Most patent applications are filed with the assistance of patent agents, who are specialized professionals, since the wording of the application can make a crucial difference to the potential value of the granted patent.

	sociology - Patent
		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.
		A patent application (other than a design patent) must explain how to practice (i.e., make and/or use) the invention(s) and must also include claims that particularly point out the invention(s) and define the scope of the subject matter for which exclusive rights are sought by the patent applicant.
		Typically, an application for a patent is prepared by a professional patent agent or patent attorney and filed with a patent office where it is then examined by a patent examiner for patentability.

		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.
		Typically, an application for a patent is prepared by a professional agent known as a patent attorney or patent agent, who files the application with a patent office.
		Generally, the patent laws make it difficult for patent examiners to employ hindsight reasoning in rejecting a claim as obvious, by requiring some teaching that would motivate a person of ordinary skill in the art to modify the technology found in the prior art to arrive at the claimed invention.

	United Kingdom - Computer-Related Inventions
		It has become a common complaint that the United Kingdom Patent Office has been taking a tougher view having regard to the grant of patents relating to computer software-related inventions than the European Patent Office (which in turn proposes stricter criteria than the United States PTO).
		The case came to the Court of Appeal as a result of a refusal of the application by the United Kingdom Patent Office.
		It was noted that the decision had indicated that the key to determining patentability was to see whether once one had discounted the fact that a computer program was involved, what was left in the claim related to a technical problem.
