What is a Brevet? Understanding Old French Patents and Their Significance

Brevet (French for "patent") was a type of patent granted in France and Belgium before the introduction of the European Patent Office (EPO) in 1978. It was a specific type of exclusive right granted to inventors for their inventions, similar to a patent. The term "brevet" is still used in some contexts to refer to an old French patent or to distinguish it from modern patents granted by the EPO.
