The owner of a patent has the right to decide who can or cannot use the patented invention during the period in which the invention is protected. Any co-owner of a patent, no matter how small the partial interest, can manufacture, use, offer for sale and sell and import the invention for their own benefit, provided that it does not infringe the patent rights of another person, regardless of the other owners, and can sell the share or a part of it, or grant patent licenses to third parties, regardless of the other co-owner.
