What rights does a patent give?

Matt Dixon (Partner) gives expert video advice on: What is an 'invention'?; Can I tell anyone about my invention?; If I invent something do I have to patent it before I make or sell it? and more...

A patent allows you to stop other people from making, using, importing, and selling the invention that's protected by the patent in the country where you have that patent. But you have to remember that patent's are national rights so you need one in each of the countries where you want protection.
