The term is also used for proprietary medicines which, because of the research and cost involved in producing many of them, are protected by a patent. This means that without an agreement, no company or organization other than the patent-holder can produce the substance.A word denoting \"clear\" or \"unblocked\" (as seen in patent ductus arteriosus). The phrase \"patent medicine\" is occasionally utilized to describe proprietary drugs that are safeguarded by a patent."}
