	~~A patent is used to unlock more advanced~~ [[Manufacturing_Process\|manufacturing process]]es. The [[quality]] of the resulting patent will limit the [[quality]] of the patented commodity. This means that when better quality [[resource]]s are available the patents will have to be updated.

	~~All manufacturing processes more advanced than metal will require a patent to be researched before it can be done.~~

	~~==Research==~~
	~~A patent is researched at the building that need it or at a [[university]].~~

	~~When a patent is successfully researched, it is added to the empire's patent list. If the patent already exists it is simply updated if the new one is a higher [[quality]].~~

	~~===Research Sample===~~
	Some patents require a sample to be resourced. For example patents for mining [[radioactives]], [[eludium]] and [[lumenite]] all require the a sample of the resource itself. This is simply done by [[foraging]] a sample by hand and then [[Trade\|selling]] it to the researching building.

	~~===Resulting Quality===~~
	~~The [[quality]] of a patent depends on the quality of the materials used.~~

	~~Quality of cronodollars is ignored.~~

	~~===Prototype Failure===~~
	~~On creation, a patent has a chance to fail based on its quality. If it fails, no patent is created. This is usually only an issue for very low quality patents.~~

	~~===Prerequisites===~~
	Some patents require other patents to be researched before they are possible to research. For example [[Rocket_Drive_Module\|rocket drive module]] has to be researched before [[Gravity_Drive_Module\|gravity drive module]] is visible on the lists.

	~~Rule of thumb; if what you want to research isn't listed as an option, research the lower tech equivalent first.~~

	~~===Research Time===~~
	~~Most patents take no more than 5 minutes to research. Some of the more advanced or big patents can take longer.~~

	~~It appears that universities research patents ~15% faster than other buildings.[https://discordapp.com/channels/226456665057263616/584089990330449933/684254274267775199]~~

	~~==Empire Patents==~~
	~~[[File:EmpirePatents.png\|thumb\|right\|The empire patents window.]]~~
	~~All [[building]]s belonging to the empire will periodically fetch required patents from the empire patents.~~

	~~The list of empire patents can be seen on the [[Governance]] window's ''Patent'' tab. It is also possible to export these patents onto [[media]], allowing you to trade them with other [[empire]]s.~~

	~~===Effect of Knowing===~~
	~~Once the empire patents contains a [[Warp_FTL_Drive_Module\|warp FTL drive module]] patent a number of things start happening.~~

	* The empire's [[airport]]s will start emitting [[Warp_Signature\|warp signature]]s.
	* The empire's [[radar]]s will start detecting warp signatures.
	* The empire's [[broker]] [[shipment]]s will travel faster. (confirm?)

	~~This means that once warp FTL technology is researched, an empire is detectable by other empires that also has the warp FTL technology researched.~~
