A patent is an exclusive right granted for an invention, which is a product or a process that provides, in general, a new way of doing something, or offers a new technical solution to a problem.
There are three types of patents: utility, design and plant. Utility and plant patent applications can be provisional and nonprovisional. Provisional applications may not be filed for design inventions.
Examples of patents include the Wright Brothers' patent for the airplane, Thomas Edison's patent for the light bulb, and Alexander Graham Bell's patent for the telephone.
