A quick definition of same invention:
Term: SAME INVENTION
Definition: When someone creates something new, they can get a special paper called a patent that says they are the only ones who can make or sell that thing. If someone else tries to get a patent for the exact same thing, it's called a same invention. It means they are trying to claim something that someone else already made.
A more thorough explanation:
Definition: A same invention is a second invention that claims the exact same subject matter as a previous invention.
Example: If someone invents a new type of phone charger and gets a patent for it, another person cannot come along and also get a patent for the exact same type of phone charger. This would be considered a same invention.
Explanation: The example illustrates the definition by showing that if someone has already invented something and received a patent for it, no one else can claim the exact same invention and receive their own patent. This is to prevent multiple people from claiming ownership of the same idea and potentially causing legal disputes.
