Of course - at least in most countries. A patent is a temporary monopoly, given to an inventor by the state for a set period, often 20 years. This allows the inventor 20 years during which he or she is the only person allowed to use the invention commercially. The idea is to encourage people to invent new things.

 

In most countries, any inventor can exploit an invention without a patent, and many inventions are not  novel enough for a patent to be granted. But in such cases, there is nothing to stop somebody else from copying the idea and competing with the inventor in the marketplace.

 

But I speak only of the Western world (EU, N America) and countries such as Australia with similar laws. In Turkey? Under Erdogan's creeping dictatorship, who knows? You had better rely on local advice.

OK I didn't know that. But I would not bet on anything in Turkey that relates to the EU being respected to at the moment.
