This article is a follow up to my article: ‘Need Soft Patents for Software Inventions’; in fact, it is one in the series analysing the patentability of ‘computer related inventions.’
Although the first article praised the IPO for naming the guidelines aptly – Computer Related Inventions guidelines and not software inventions, it is with disappointment that I have to say that the guidelines fail to add ‘something more‘ to clarify the stand of the patent office with respect to computer related inventions.
