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]].
 
===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.
 
==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.
