Importance of Patenting: Once a patent is granted, a patent holder has, in general, the right to exclude others from making, using, selling, offering for sale, or importing for those purposes, the claimed invention, without their consent.

AI technologies may be described in patent applications, protected by patents, disclosed in scientific publications, shared through open source projects or collaboration platforms, or developed in-house and protected by trade secrets.
