How do patents and copyrights encourage innovation?

History
1 answer:
juin [17]2 years ago
5 0

Answer:

The answer is: "They give inventors and writers exclusive rights to make and sell their inventions and works, possibly making large profits."

Explanation:

When you get a patent on something, you are protected from someone swooping in and grabbing your idea and running with it. Say you have an idea for a new type of coffee cup that keeps coffee warm longer. If you just make a few thousand and sell them, some larger company can come in, copy your idea, and sell it cheaper and with a wider distribution because they have more money to work with.

When you patent it, anyone that comes in to copy your idea, can get into legal trouble over it. They may even own you money for damages.

Which event in the early 20th century would change the data on this map?
e-lub [12.9K]

The correct answer is "A: The Great Migration".

The Great Migration was the relocation of more the 6 million African Americans from the rural and urban areas of Southeastern United States (the states of the former Confederacy) to urbanized locations in the northeast, midwest, and west of the country. This dramatically changed the population distribution of African Americans, as 90% of their total population lived in the Southeast prior to this policy but when it ended 50% would live in the designed areas for relocation.
