If someone has a patent but I invented same thing earlier, can i manufacture it?

If I invent something specific then someone patents a similar thing later (let's assume a recent patent e.g. 2015), do I have the right to manufacture and sell products using the invention? And if so, do I technically have copyright but not the patent?
