Etymology
The concept of patents dates back to ancient Greece, where inventors were granted exclusive rights to their creations. The modern patent system can be traced back to the Venetian Statute of 1474, which granted inventors a temporary monopoly on their inventions. Over the centuries, patent laws have evolved to protect intellectual property and encourage innovation.
