Grant
A significant milestone in a patent application that marks the patent office's formal decision that the patent application meets all the requirements for patentability. From this point, the patent application becomes a granted patent with enforceable rights that may be asserted against third parties to prevent them from making, using, importing or selling the patented invention.
