Software

In a formal way, software is the set of computer programs, proceedings, rules, documentation and associated data that are part of the operations of a computer system. Therefore, software is the set of computer programs and documentation that perform a task in a computer.

We must note that, according to the European Patent Convention, a computer program is not a patentable invention. The way of protecting software is by registering it at the Intellectual Property Registry.

However, if the software has a technical effect, then it is a patentable invention. Inventions implemented in a computer may be considered patents if they solve a technical problem in an inventive manner.
