Merely having a patent does not mean it works as advertised.
Yes it does when it is a medical patent. It takes about 5 years to get a medical patent and a cost
of about 1 million dollars.
Not in the US. It's a popular misunderstanding that something has to work for you to get a
patent on it. Not true -- the only thing you can't patent without a working model is a perpetual
motion machine.
You may be thinking of FDA approval, but that's different.
