A quick definition of same-invention double patenting:
Same-invention double patenting is when someone tries to get a patent for an invention that is already patented by the same person. This is not allowed because it would give the person too much control over the invention. It's like trying to get two driver's licenses for the same car. It's not fair to others who might want to use the invention too.A more thorough explanation:
Definition: Same-invention double patenting is a type of double patenting where an inventor tries to get two patents for the same invention. This is not allowed because it would give the inventor an unfair advantage over others who want to use the invention.
