What a Patent Actually Is (And What It Isn’t)

The Right to Exclude, Not the Right to Make

A first-principles explanation of what a patent is - a right to exclude others, not to make or launch your invention. Confusing the two destroys strategy. Covers the statutory definitions, the duration of the exclusion, and the Apple v Samsung patent wars.
