Steven Shape, Managing Partner, Patent Attorney, Dennemeyer & Associates, USA
In the United States, software can be the subject of a properly drafted utility patent application or a copyright registration. Software embodied in source code, an idea, or an invention (device or process) can be protected. Software developers and companies can choose between patent and copyright. Some decide to use both. It is important to focus on what is desired to be protected -- the code itself, the product using the software in operation, the process carried out by the software. Obtaining a patent and registering a copyright are very different processes, with different timing and different costs.
