A patent is legally enforceable and gives the owner the exclusive right to commercially exploit the invention for the life of the patent. This is not automatic-you must apply for a patent to obtain exclusive rights to exploit your invention.

There are many ways that a person can save time and money by tackling a project themselves rather than hiring a professional - conveyancing is not one of them.
