Therefore, as an inventor of software, you can actually apply for a patent. Only after applying for a software patent can your relevant intellectual property rights be protected by law. So what are the conditions for applying for a software patent? Conditions for applying for a software patent Conditions for applying for a software patent: Involving automated technical processes If an invention patent application involves inputting a computer program into a known computer to form a computer-controlled device or computer-controlled production method, in this case Next, if the computer program and the computer hardware are considered as a whole, then the known computer and the computer program together constitute a production device or production method for industrial process control. Conditions for applying for a software patent: Involving the improvement of the internal operating performance of a computer. If the subject of the invention patent application involves a method of using a computer program to improve the internal operating performance of a known computer system, the invention patent application is intended to solve a technical problem and improve the It is known that the internal operating performance of a computer system has achieved technical effects, so this kind of invention patent application is an object that can be granted patent protection.

If the subject of an invention patent application is the use of a computer program to control and/or perform a certain measurement or testing process, the invention patent application is intended to solve a technical problem and It can achieve technical effects, so this kind of invention patent application belongs to the subject matter that can be granted patent protection. Conditions for software patent application: software for external data processing. If the subject of the invention patent application is to use a computer program running on a well-known computer to process external data to solve a specific technical problem, then, because it processes It is a technical problem, technical means are used, and technical effects can be obtained. Therefore, this kind of invention patent application is an object that can be granted patent protection.
