Benjamin Franklin was offered a patent for his invention of a stove which we now call the Franklin stove. The stove is still being manufactured today. The patent could have earned him a lot of money and given him a monopoly on it. A monopoly means he would be the only person who had a right to sell the stove. Franklin refused the patent. In fact, he published a pamphlet describing how to build the stove. What could the patent do for Franklin?

publish a pamphlet

give him a monopoly

make him famous
