A patent is a legal device that grants an inventor market exclusivity over a new invention or medication. Market exclusivity can mean tremendous economic rewards for the patent holder because it provides the inventor with a monopoly over the invention for the 20-year patent term. Obtaining a patent and retaining market exclusivity can be a treacherous process, especially in the arena of biotechnology patents. Scientific, legal, and practical considerations must be carefully weighed to best protect an inventor's rights. This article explores some common patenting pitfalls as well as emerging issues that are specific to the area of biotechnology patenting.
专利是一种法律手段，它赋予发明者对新发明或药物的市场独占权。市场独占权对专利持有人而言可能意味着巨大的经济回报，因为它在20年的专利期限内为发明者提供了对该发明的垄断权。获得专利并保持市场独占权可能是一个充满风险的过程，尤其是在生物技术专利领域。必须仔细权衡科学、法律和实际方面的考虑因素，以最好地保护发明者的权利。本文探讨了一些常见的专利陷阱以及生物技术专利领域特有的新出现的问题。
