In developed countries, patents are taken very seriously and anybody who goes ahead to steal or sell the change or uses someone’s idea to develop an invention which is similar to a patented one can be sued and fined heavily

An invention and innovation are patented if and only if it is new such that it has never existed in the world, and no one knows of its existence. It, therefore, gives the inventor the legal right to own it, and no one should be allowed to develop the same. A patent can also be granted if the product is an improvement of an already existing product. The improvement must be unique and entirely detached from the idea of the person who developed it. An example would be the ancient computers and a laptop. The original plan was the invention of the machine that was bulky and immense, and it was not portable. The developers of a laptop had the concept of a network in mind, but they totally created an innovation which was the compact, light, and developed a long-lasting battery. Their innovation could thus be patented, and any other company which was interested in producing the same had to buy the rights from them. This is thus even a lucrative business in itself.

The United States grants patent rights where it is convinced beyond a reasonable doubt that the invention is new or is an absolute improvement of an existing one. This is done for a fee, and a certificate of ownership is given. Patent rights resulted from lots of chaos in recent years. The most affected are high-tech companies such as Microsoft, Apple, Blackberry, Samsung, and the likes. Court cases have become the order of the day as the companies sue each other over patent rights and the infringement of the rights. (Bowyer, 1990)
