A quick definition of protestant:

A Protestant is someone who disagrees with something and expresses their disapproval in a formal way. This can be done by filing a petition to challenge a patent, disputing a debt's legality, or objecting to conduct that violates international law. It can also be used when making a payment unwillingly because the taxpayer believes the tax to be invalid. In the context of patents, a Protestant is someone who challenges the patentability of an invention in a proceeding in the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office.

A more thorough explanation:

A Protestant is a person who files a protest petition with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office challenging the patentability of an invention. This means they are objecting to the granting of a patent for a particular invention.

  • John filed a protest with the Patent Office, arguing that the invention was not new and therefore not eligible for a patent.
  • Mary joined a group of protesters who were demonstrating against a new law that they believed was unfair.
  • Tom wrote a letter of protest to his local government, expressing his disagreement with a proposed development project in his neighborhood.

These examples illustrate different ways in which people can express their dissent or disapproval of something. Whether it's a legal challenge, a public demonstration, or a written statement, a protest is a formal way of expressing disagreement with a particular decision or action.
