Pros and Cons of Patent

A case sparked much debate over the need for a patent at work today.
Pros
Protection - it helps to prevent to a certain extent competitors from copying your innovation
Asset - gives your product credibility, as a patented product will more likely  give a wow effect to the consumer 
Cons
Application costs - much money and specialized skill required, as a result, inventors are usually unwilling to fork out additional resources especially in tight situations
- Possibility of failure and thus a waste of money
