One can apply for a Patent when his idea is new and he wants to pursue that idea to make a business but afraid of copycats. In such case he can apply for Patent and then he can be sure that if somebody copies his idea, he can go and sue them with his Patent.
There are mainly two types of patents:
1)Utility Patent: If your idea is technical in nature for example a software, machine part, business method, etc.
2)Design Patent: If your idea is simple design and involves only the aesthetic of a product for example design of a bottle, design of mobile phone etc.
