The Chinese word 专利 (zhuān lì) for "patent" is composed of two characters: 专 (zhuān) and 利 (lì). 专 means "exclusive" or "special", while 利 means "benefit" or "profit". Together, they convey the idea of a special right or privilege granted to an inventor or creator for their unique creation or invention. This right allows the inventor to exclusively exploit their creation for a certain period of time, usually 20 years, and to prevent others from making, using, or selling it without their permission. The term 专利 is often used in the context of intellectual property rights and is an important concept in the field of innovation and technology.
