Detailed explanation-1: -Private and Non-commercial Use Exception The exclusive rights conferred by a patent do not allow private use or monopoly over commercial activity.

Detailed explanation-2: -In principle, the patent owner has the exclusive right to prevent or stop others from commercially exploiting the patented invention. In other words, patent protection means that the invention cannot be commercially made, used, distributed, imported or sold by others without the patent owner’s consent.

Detailed explanation-3: -Contrary to public: An invention whose commercial exploitation is contrary to public order and morality or which causes serious prejudice to humans, animals, plants, or the environment is not patentable. Hence, a device for housebreaking or a gambling machine cannot be granted a patent.

Detailed explanation-4: -In other words, a patent provides its owner a ‘right to exclude’ others but not a ‘right or freedom to use” the patented invention. So, a patent gives its owner only an exclusive right to prevent or stop others, from making, using, offering for sale, selling or importing a product or process.
