A quick definition of patent right:

Patent right: A patent right is a legal protection given to an inventor for their invention. It means that no one else can make, use, or sell the invention without the inventor's permission. It is like a special right that only the inventor has, and it helps them to make money from their invention and prevent others from copying it.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: A patent right is a legal right granted to an inventor or assignee for a limited period of time in exchange for disclosing their invention to the public. This right allows the inventor to exclude others from making, using, selling, or importing their invention without permission.

Example: Let's say John invents a new type of phone case that can charge a phone wirelessly. He applies for a patent right and is granted one. This means that for a certain period of time, John has the exclusive right to make, use, sell, or import his invention. If someone else tries to make or sell a similar phone case without John's permission, he can take legal action against them.

Another example: Sarah invents a new type of solar panel that is more efficient than any other on the market. She applies for a patent right and is granted one. This means that for a certain period of time, Sarah has the exclusive right to make, use, sell, or import her invention. If a company tries to make or sell a similar solar panel without Sarah's permission, she can take legal action against them.

These examples illustrate how a patent right gives the inventor control over their invention and allows them to profit from it without competition from others.
