Patent
A patent protects a new and innovative invention in any industry, including agriculture. The invention may relate to a new product, process and/or use, but must have a concrete and technical nature.
A patent gives its holder the right to prevent others from using or exploiting the patented invention in the territory where the patent is valid. A patent also contributes to valorizing R&D efforts, such as by generating revenues through licensing or sales of patent rights, or by attracting investors.
