To begin with, before delving into the intricacies of patent laws and what you can and should do if you feel someone violated the rights you have acquired through a patent; let us address the simple question of what a patent really is.
A patent is basically a grant courtesy of which the person who has been issued the patent has the right to prevent others from copying his/her ideas, concepts, and work as specified in the claims of the patent. This is a patent for invitation. The actual patent itself is approved and issued by the United States Patent and Trademark Office.

Our copyright lawyers in Alabama can help you navigate the complexities of copyright, intellectual property, and trademark law to ensure the protection of rights for your creative works. The copyright law in the United States is a complicated and lengthy procedure that allows for almost any type of work to be copyrighted.
In most cases, the term of a new patent is 20 years from the date on which the application for the patent was filed in the country. In some exceptional cases, the starting date may be when an earlier related application was filed. However, the term of the patent is dependent on paying maintenance fees. Therefore, if the patent holder discontinues payments or misses payments for some reason, then his or her patent may be voided.
Lastly, it should be noted that a US patent is not valid across the globe and is only valid within the United States, US territories, and other US possessions. Therefore, do not expect that a US patent will protect your invention, concept, or idea across the globe from being ripped off, mimicked, or replicated by some other individual or organization outside of the United States.
