Patents can be very valuable because they entitle their owners to exclude others from making, using or selling the described inventions. Patents can provide the safety net necessary for an aggressive business investment in biotechnology. They can protect market share and profit margins. However, patents in the hands of competitors can severely restrict a company's profitability and growth.
