what is/was the original intent of patent law
Such description is the quid pro quo of the patent system; the public must receive meaningful disclosure in exchange for being excluded from practicing the invention for a limited period of time. [ Update: In fact, some argue, crankishly, that disclosure is the only purpose of patent law.ut the patent âstatuteâ is not isolated. The âlawâ is what legal rules are enforced in society, and that is a result of the actions of the courts and the legislature, in our system.
