The UCC was created in 1952 through UNESCO to provide an international multilateral copyright treaty; the UCC remains significant in the countries that are UCC but not Berne Union members.

Patent

Definition:
In the United States, a grant by the federal government to an inventor of the right to exclude others from making, using, or selling the invention. There are three very different kinds of patents in the United States: a utility patent on the functional aspects of products and processes; a design patent on the ornamental design of useful objects; and a plant patent on a new variety of living plant. Patents do not protect "ideas," only structures and methods that apply technological concepts. In return for receiving the right to exclude others from a precisely defined scope of technology, industrial design, or plant variety, which is the gist of a patent, the inventor must fully disclose the details of the invention to the public.

Patent Cooperation Treaty

The Patent Cooperation Treaty enables an inventor to file a single international application in addition to the main patent application filed in a treaty-member country; this simplifies the process of an applicant's seeking a patent on the same invention in more than one nation.

Deceased Inventor
