Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Patented technological knowledge is not a public good because it is exclusionary, meaning it can only be used by those who have obtained the patent or have purchased the rights to use it. Public goods are non-exclusionary, meaning they can be used by everyone without limiting others' access to it. National defense, general knowledge, and the elimination of poverty are examples of public goods.
