Understanding this quote
The quote says that patents protect an innovator’s idea from being copied while it is still being developed. This protection gives the innovator time to improve and perfect the idea before others can profit from it. The patent system is therefore presented as an important safeguard during the gap between creating an invention and finishing it.
