A man named Alexander Graham Bell received a patent for his telephone invention in 1876. Today, many Americans carry a cell phone around with them.
Define patent law and describe how patents encourage competition.

answer:

The patent law applies when a person invents something, then describes it on a patent. When that patent is submitted and approved, no one else can claim invention of that item. Patents encourage competition because the first person to come up with a great idea for an invention and patent it will own the idea: people want to be the first, and are motivated.
