How do patents promote the public good?
What will be an ideal response?
Patent protection incentivizes inventors. Inventors fully disclose their inventions (which introduce new products and technologies) in return for which they receive an exclusive period of time to exploit their inventions. After the period of protection for the patent expires, the fully disclosed patent is in the public domain and anyone can use or sell it.

Don is a local handyman and works for people in his neighborhood, doing odd jobs like cleaning up yards, trimming trees, mowing lawns, and other jobs for which he receives an hourly wage of $8 per hour. He has no set hours or clients and roams through the neighborhood, seeking out anyone who needs work. One day, while working at Esther’s house, he falls and is injured.
