Why is theft a challenge for an inventor?
"Theft" is not a challenge for an inventor any more than it is for anyone else. Theft is taking something with the intention of permanently depriving its owner of it. Copying an invention is not theft because the inventor has not been deprived of the invention after it has been copied: the inventor still knows what the invention is. On the other hand, the risk of someone copying his or her invention is a challenge for an inventor. The person who copied the invention can get the benefit of the invention without any of the cost and effort that the inventor had to go to to make the invention. That might make the inventor worse off. The patent system exists to allow inventors to protect their inventions.
How do patents encourage technological progress?
Patents are used to balance the right of the individual with the concept of the public good. In general, the purpose of a patent is two-fold: to allow the inventor of some new thing to retain exclusive rights as to its use for a limited period of time, and after that time to ensure that the details of the invention are available for public use. By granting the patent-holder exclusive rights to their invention, use and duplication of the invention is at the sole discretion of the inventor, potentially allowing them to profit from it. However, after a period of time those exclusive rights cease to apply, and the new invention becomes available to the public. This contributes to the public good by increasing the amount of general knowledge available.
