Solution
A patent grants the inventor of a product the exclusive right to manufacture and sell that product.
Explanation
A patent is a form of intellectual property that provides the patent holder with exclusive rights to the invention, typically for a limited period, usually 20 years from the filing date. This exclusivity allows the inventor to prevent others from making, using, selling, or distributing the patented invention without permission. Patents are crucial for encouraging innovation by providing inventors with the opportunity to recoup their investment in research and development.
