• Patent Search: To be eligible for a patent, an invention must be novel. A patent search determines if it has been patented before.
• Provisional Patent: A temporary application, similar to a placeholder without formal requirements.
• Nonprovisional Patent: A formal application that requires meeting various requirements for patent approval.
• Patent Infringement: If there is unauthorized use of the patented invention, it's considered infringement.
