Patent
Wikipedia : A patent is a type of intellectual property that gives
its owner the legal right to exclude others from making, using,
or selling an invention for a limited period of time in exchange
for publishing an enabling disclosure of the invention.
WIPO : A patent is an exclusive right granted for an invention,
which is a product or a process that provides, in general, a new
way of doing something, or offers a new technical solution to a
problem.
So we can say, Patent is legal documents that grant
exclusive rights to the inventors.

Roundup Ready
Developed by
Robert Fraley, Stephen Rogers, and Robert Horsch
This groundbreaking invention introduced genetically modified (GM)
crops that were resistant to the herbicide glyphosate, commonly
known as Roundup.
Roundup Ready technology allowed farmers to grow crops like
soybeans, corn, and cotton that were genetically modified to
withstand the application of glyphosate herbicides. This innovation
revolutionized agriculture by making weed control more efficient,
reducing the need for other, often more environmentally harmful
herbicides, and increasing crop yields.

CONCLUSION
In summary, patents serve as essential tools in promoting innovation,
protecting intellectual property, and driving economic growth. They
incentivize inventors and creators, rewarding their contributions to
society while encouraging the disclosure of knowledge. We've explored
the patent process, its significance, and the economic implications
