      So I still don’t quite understand patents,

      Does it forbid someone from selling the intention? Making the invention? Can I not even make an invention for personal use if it’s patented??

        I think you can generally make one, but it has to be for personal use and you can’t ever sell it.

            No but it isn’t for personal use. You likely wouldn’t be able to get the specs to do it for yourself either though.
