An inventor is a person who creates or discovers a new method, form, device or other useful means that becomes known as an invention.
The word inventor comes from the Latin verb invenire, invent-, to find. The system of patents was established to encourage inventors by granting limited-term, limited monopoly on inventions determined to be sufficiently novel, non-obvious, and useful.
Although inventing is closely associated with science and engineering, inventors are not necessarily engineers nor scientists.
