Protecting your competitive edge
In a highly competitive world where businesses and individuals no longer are competing just locally, but globally due to technology making most things available at your fingertips, it is beneficial to have a competitive edge. Patents provide a needed competitive edge to their owners and are critical to the protection of new inventions. Securing patent protection allows owners to stop others from making, using, selling, offering for sale, or importing protected technologies and methods, thereby providing a limited monopoly.
