A
famous adage says that “Knowledge is Power,” indeed it is—for
the power of human mind have created breakthroughs that centuries ago
were not dreamt possible.
In
today's generation, everything we see is pretty normal. From Dvd's to
touch screen phones, we find inventions valuable because it tend to
be useful, and better yet, it entertain us. But for those people who
have seen things outside the box, more of our useful technologies are
not mere creations, they are magnificent products of the mind that
deserve to be used in responsible ways; and the inventors, they
deserved to be given gratitude and honor for sharing what they have
done to millions of people around the globe.
Painstakingly,
only a few are respecting the rights of our creators. The rampant
piracy and infringement, which are violation of copyrights and
intellectual property make inventors threatened to materialize the
knowledge they have. Definitely, who would want to work hard for a
masterpiece that will not attributed to its creator in the end? It is
good that today, many countries are being strict regarding patent and
granted inventors with the right to protect the product/s of their
mind. Though there still are law-breakers who practice underground
piracies, these bad guys should worry, because the cold bars of the
jail awaits them whenever they will be caught.
To
discuss further, patents are defined to be a grant from the
government given to individuals or group of people for the property
right of an invention. In the United States, it is issued by the
United
States Patent and Trademark Office.
