The software industry can be separated into four main categories: programming services, system services, open source and SaaS. The software industry is booming, with software companies’ revenue soaring in recent years and so is the idea of getting a software patent. With the advent of the Internet and cloud computing, the computer software industry has radically changed how companies interact with, develop and use software. Software was once a product that was purchased, installed and maintained. In 2016, more and more companies are using software in a subscription model where all the development, maintenance and upkeep of the program is done by the original creator.
The software industry is composed of programmers, designers, marketers, sellers, and others who create the programs users need and then market them and sell them. Some programs are designed for general use and mass consumption, while other programs are custom-designed for a company’s needs. Computer software companies typically provide software for a specific niche or function. However, software innovations pose unique challenges to the patent system. Due to its abstract, intangible nature, software can be difficult to precisely describe unless it is deeply understood. In addition, software’s short innovation cycles mean that speed and efficiency are critical in preparing for market launch.
