Exclusive right to ...

@White whirlwind: I have reverted your edit and have added a reference. The added reference comes from the section titled "Effects". The answer to your question: "Which is encompassed in the term "exclusive right", though, isn't it?" is definitely 'no', i.e. not "the exclusive right to make, use, or sell ...", as stated. A patent does not give its proprietor the right to practice the claimed invention because the claimed invention may be more specific that the invention claimed in another patent. Besides, even if there is no such patent claiming a more generic invention, a market authorization may be required in order to be entitled to make, use, or sell the claimed invention. I hope this is clearer now. Cheers --Edcolins (talk) 20:25, 24 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Edcolins: Ok, thanks for the explanation. I was just trying to fight the good fight in our age-old battle to clarify legal prose. White Whirlwind 21:22, 24 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

You're welcome! --Edcolins (talk) 06:58, 25 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Wokism strikes again

The data about women's underrepresentation in patents is of dubious relevance to the article; its inclusion in the 'history' is not particularly justified. I propose its deletion. Ender's Shadow Snr (talk) 00:11, 10 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I disagree. I think the information is both relevant and appears to be well sourced. Per WP:NPOV, "all the significant views that have been published by reliable sources on a topic" have to be represented "fairly, proportionately, and, as far as possible, without editorial bias".

Requesting an edit

It is requested that an edit be made to the semi-protected article at Patent. (edit · history · last · links · protection log)

This template must be followed by a complete and specific description of the request, that is, specify what text should be removed and a verbatim copy of the text that should replace it. "Please change X" is not acceptable and will be rejected; the request must be of the form "please change X to Y".

The edit may be made by any autoconfirmed user. Remember to change the |answered=no parameter to "yes" when the request has been accepted, rejected or on hold awaiting user input. This is so that inactive or completed requests don't needlessly fill up the edit requests category. You may also wish to use the {{ESp}} template in the response. To request that a page be protected or unprotected, make a protection request.

I think it would be relevant to add in the “Non-national treatment in the application procedure” section the following findings emerging from a combination of multiple reliable sources (scholarly papers of authors specialized in this domain). What do you think? I have a COI with de Rassenfosse. (See my userpage). Text to potentially add at the end of the section:

However, some governments are still biased (intentionally or unintentionally) towards foreign inventors. For example, scholars have found that in the U.S. and Chinese patent systems, inventions of foreign origin are about 10 percentage points less likely to be granted a patent than domestic inventions. In the United States, no intentional discrimination of foreigners was found. Rather, the evidence shows an unintentional discrimination of foreign inventors (i.e., disparate impact of rules and practices). ^[1] ^[2] ^[3] ^[4] Additional evidence points to the fact that filing international patent applications under the Patent Cooperation Treaty (PCT) mitigates some of this bias.^[4] AM13prime (talk) 09:56, 15 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
