The Patents are certificates of ownership on Inventions, Utility Models and Industrial Designs. They grant exclusivity and protect against unauthorized copies and imitations during a term stated by the law.

The patents are granted on products, processes, methods, and also uses. During a long time pharmaceutical, homeopathic and phytoterapeutic products can not be subject to patent. Since some years ago these products can be subject to patent worldwide.

For instance, it is also possible to grant patent on integrated circuits, microorganisms altered by human activity, some types of software, and in many countries also on plants altered by human activity.

The patents system enables to protect the intellectual property owned by inventors and designers, granting an added value to their intellectual work, turning it an asset belonging to the trade world. An invention turns assignable and can be subject to licence. The licence is an authorization for the exploitation that the inventor grants expecting the payment of a royalty.
