How do patents and copyrights encourage innovation?

History
1 answer:
juin [17]3 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.

Vlada [557]
<span>Vietnam was a colony attempting to gain independence.

The conflict began as an independence movement of the Vietnamese against the French who held Vietnam as a colony since 1887.

France declared Vietnam's independence in 1954 but the US and the West wanted to keep control of the resources and area of Vietnam. US involvement was an attempt to keep Vietnam on the side of the West instead of becoming a Communist country as they were moving toward. </span>
