What does congress grant inventors rights to manufacture and sale their inventions?

Congress grants inventors rights to manufacture and sell their inventions through the U.S. patent system, established under Article I, Section 8 of the Constitution. This system allows inventors to obtain patents, which give them exclusive rights to their inventions for a limited time, typically 20 years from the filing date. These rights encourage innovation by providing inventors with the opportunity to benefit financially from their creations while also promoting the dissemination of new technologies.
