A patent can provide you some protection for some of the inventions and ideas that you come up with along the way. If you invented something new and you got it on the market right away, then it is possible that the competition will run in and try to do the same thing and outsell you. This takes away the incentive to work hard because you are not profiting from it. But when a patent is in place, the competition is not allowed to make the exact same product without getting into a lot of trouble or without your permission, making it profitable and easier to get an inventor to try something new.

There are a number of benefits that you will be able to enjoy when it comes to securing a patent for some of the inventions that you come up with. Some of these benefits include:

# The barrier to entry: Once you come up with a new idea and secure a patent for it, it is going to stop others from selling a product that is just like it. They can try, but then you are able to go after them thanks to the patent and get awarded compensation. The competition will need to find something else or wait until the patent is done, whether that is 20 years or 15 years, before making a product like it.

# Increased prices and profits: Since the competition is not able to make an exact replica of what you have and put it on the market, you have a short-term monopoly on it all. this means that you are able to choose what to charge for the product, without outside influence from the competition, and you can earn all the profits from the whole thing as well. .

# Level the playing field: Even a small company can get a patent on some of their ideas. The patent will then stop a larger company from competing against you so that you can make money without having to fight against someone with more resources and money.
