Software

In the software industry IP plays roles that have only recently developed to play different roles in different areas. In some areas software is seen as a disruptive, fast moving technology, whereas in other areas it is seen as a more sustaining, mature technology.

The rationale for selecting an IP strategy to protect software-related innovations and secure freedom to exploit such innovations varies from business to business. The legal systems for patents have changed significantly during the last decade to adapt to the software industry. As a result, there are many opinions regarding how and to what extent software can actually be protected, as well as questions about the value gained by such protection.
