Did you know your smartphone carries hundreds of patents? 📱🔬 Every detail - from hardware to software - is powered by protected inventions.

Patents grant creators exclusive rights, preventing others from making, using, or selling their inventions without permission. To qualify, an invention must provide a new and useful technical solution - whether in medicine, mechanics, or beyond.

In exchange for this protection, inventors disclose their creations, enabling knowledge-sharing and technology transfer. Copying is only permitted with the owner’s authorization.

🌐 Protecting through patents fuels progress, drives industries forward, and secures the future of innovation.
