All of the statements provided are true regarding patents.

  • Statement A is true as a patent is indeed for a new invention, and the patent holder has exclusive rights to that invention.
  • Statement B is also true; a patent is an official document granted by the government that provides protection for an invention.
  • Statement C is true as well; other people are generally not allowed to use the patented invention without the permission of the patent holder.

Since all the statements are true, it appears none of them incorrectly represent what a patent is, which makes your question a bit confusing. If you are looking for a false statement specifically among these options, none qualify.
