Software, data processing and image processing cover a huge range of technologies from cloud computing to virtual reality to apps. Products including these technologies are now ubiquitous in the modern world, and are constantly evolving.
Many different aspects of the products mentioned above can benefit from patent protection, and accordingly, many different patents might apply to any one product. Harvesting these innovations is an important first step in the patent process, as is prioritizing which to protect.
What can be patented in this industry varies significantly from country to country and so awareness of international IP laws is an important consideration for companies interested in international protection.
