This can get costly very quickly. But wait, there is a solution

You got a great invention, and you don’t want others to create or use the same invention (or at least nobody can claim they invented it). That’s the kind of protection a patent offers.

If you are serious about an idea and want to see it turned into a fully fledged invention, it is essential to obtain some form of patent protection, at least to the ‘patent pending’ status.

Let’s take it back even further: what would life be like if Louis Pasteur had never shared his ideas about heat treatment, what we now call pasteurization?
