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.

asambeis [7]

The people of North American societies were considered less developed than those of the South, however, they were able to adapt features of their environment in creating very diverse cultures and complex societies that were able to trade and construct magnificent buildings.  

The North American groups had no great empires, as such, they left few ruins in comparison with those of Peru and Mexico in the South.

Pacific Northwest peoples had environments rich in resources as they were close to the sea. As such, activities they participated in included whale hunting in boats and canoes, farming (on lands that were not very arable), and is uniquely known for the creation of social classes.

In contrast, the Pueblo Builders were located in the canyon regions and were very skilled builders often using the walls of the canyons in building homes and defensive formations.
