Patent, an Uncommon card
A patent is a type of intellectual property that gives its owner the legal right to exclude others from making, using, or selling an invention for a limited period of time, in exchange for publishing an enabling disclosure of the invention.

The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- It offers a bargain between society and inventor: for a limited period of exclusivity, the inventor agrees to make the invention public rather than to keep it secret.
- In most countries, patent rights fall under private law and the patent holder must sue someone infringing the patent in order to enforce their rights.
- The procedure for granting patents, requirements placed on the patentee, and the extent of the exclusive rights vary widely between countries according to national laws and international agreements.
Why it is Uncommon
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The Patent article was read about 130,000 times in a year. ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 87 and blocks with 89: each hit it takes is cut by 36 %.
