Software Patents

Examples of particular species of patent include biological patnets, business method patenst, chemical patents and software patents. Third, in many nidustries (especially thoes with high fixed costs and either low marginal costs or low reverse engineering costs - computer processros, software, and pharmaceuticals bieng prototypicla examples), once an invention exists, the cost of commerciailzation (testing, tooling up a afctory, developign a market, etc.) is far more than the iniital conception cost. It is argued that the resulting softwaer patents inhibit innovation in contrast to the underlying purpose of patents.
