🏦 Let's begin in 15th-century Florence, where Filippo Brunelleschi, the Renaissance architect and inventor, was granted a temporary exclusive right for one of his inventions. Today, this is widely regarded as one of the earliest milestones in the evolution of intellectual property protection and the modern patent system. That same principle now underpins sophisticated patent systems around the world, enabling innovative ideas to become not only creative achievements but also protectable, transferable, and commercially valuable assets. 🔖 If you're looking for a concise yet comprehensive introduction to patents, their economic value, and the international patent framework, the WIPO Specialized Course on the Essentials of Patents (DL-170) is an excellent place to start.
