What's the difference between patent and monopoly?

1. Patent is mainly aimed at technology, and it is a legal right to monopolize technology after examination and authorization. However, they have a time limit of 20 years for invention and 10 years for practicality and appearance, and they are not absolutely exclusive. For example, compulsory permission can be granted, such as national emergency.

2. Non-patent monopolistic behavior covers a wide range of objects and shall not violate the provisions of the anti-monopoly law. Monopoly is illegal, as follows:

(a) the operator reached a monopoly agreement;

(two) the operator abuses the dominant position in the market;

(3) Concentration of business operators that have or may have the effect of eliminating or restricting competition.
