Patent benefits
One of the primary benefits of obtaining a patent is that it enables the inventor to take legal action against individuals or businesses that illegally use your product without your authorization and collect damages. If the patent is even slightly infringed upon, there may be a foundation for an infringement suit in federal court.
Business Strategy
Gain a Competitive Business Advantage
Many companies that perform or fund research and development do so with the intent of creating intellectual property (IP) they can use to gain an advantage in the marketplace. The competitive advantage that IP can give a company is diminished if others can easily copy and use the IP. For this reason, businesses use a variety of strategies to protect their IP.
The importance of IP:
More companies viewed trade secrets as important than any other type of IP protection, with 51.7% of U.S. businesses that performed or funded R&D reporting trade secrets as very important to their company in 2018 and 76.2% reporting them as very or somewhat important
