The compromise is the temporal limitation of patent rights to a maximum of 20 years.

Patent law is justified by natural law, according to which an invention is the property of its inventor. Ultimately, this would mean that an invention should permanently belong to the inventor and that the exclusive right would last forever. However, this would hinder technological progress. The compromise is the temporal limitation of patent rights to a maximum of 20 years.
