Next time you buy an item, look at it carefully and see if you can see the
words 'Pat. Pending' on it. This isn't the name of the maker; it stands for Patent
Pending, and it means that the inventors of the product have applied for a
patent for their product. But what exactly is a patent? ______66______
Robert Frost is a master at making simple words say profound things. He often
uses easily pictured and understood or ___56.___ household objects to explore
human nature ___57.___ the world. Here is a wonderful example.

Patents are considered invaluable to encouraging research and innovation
because they reward people for the time and money they spend designing something
new or improving an already existing product. ______67______ The compact disc
for example, was invented by James T Russell in 1965. He held more than 20 patents
relating to the concept and anyone who wanted to produce CDs had to pay him
royalties.
______68______ After consulting with a patent attorney - a special kind of
lawyer- who will make sure that something identical hasn't been patented previously,
a patent application can be filed. This costs US$645 and, if accepted, a patent can
then be granted. ______69______ For this reason, it may take up to five years to
finally get a patent issued and this is also why we see those words 'Pat. Pending' on
so many items. ______70______
(A) Frequently though, a patent application will be rejected and has to be sent in
again.
(B) Compared to actually thinking up something new, applying for a patent is a
pretty straightforward procedure.
(C) It tells potential thieves that a patent has been applied for but not yet issued and
that if they intend to copy the product they might be in serious legal trouble later.
(D) Patents also mean that even if the original inventor doesn't want to manufacture
an item themselves they can earn royalties by allowing other people to use their
creations.
(E) A patent is a legal agreement between a government and an inventor stating that
the inventor has ownership of the product or process and that no one else is
legally allowed to copy it.
