Description
Summary:IP Protection of Software Innovations Digital transformation is at the core of the 4th industrial revolution which goes hand in hand with software develop-ment. [...]it is expected that the software industry and the development of new software-based technologies will be growing exponentially to support the transformation. Software will certainly play an essential role in the transformation of all types of industries including healthcare, education, transportation, services, and so on (to name but a few) and will take part on a wider range of platforms and technologies including blockchain, artificial intelligence, virtual and augmented reality, telecommunications and computer networks, etc. If the software embodies a new and inventive concept or process, copyright protection will, in most cases, not protect these elements. [...]copyright can be useful only if someone copies the exact same source code of software or program (or a substantial part thereof). Europe The European Patent Office (EPO) recently amended their guidelines for assessing patents pertaining to software-related technologies.
