A company or an inventor that has developed a technical solution to a problem may
consider obtaining a patent right for that solution. A patent can cover how things work,
what they do, what they are made of and how they are made. To qualify for a patent, a
solution must be new, inventive and useful.
For instance, patents can protect novel and inventive products (like physical hardware) and
also novel and inventive processes carried out using software. Such novel and inventive
products or processes are known as "computer-implemented inventions". In plain words,
software that is running on a device is patentable.
