Wrong, patent law revolves around the exact wording in the constitution. (at least in regards to US patent law)


Exclusive right means you, the inventor, have the right to exclude anyone and/or everyone from use. However, it is your job to ensure that people you wish to exclude do not use it (ex: sue them). However, until such time as the patent holder tells the person using the patent that they are not allowed, there is no "infringement"

Having a patent actually does allow you to be the only person producing a product, without licensing it to anyone, because the patent has a fixed term length.
