You’ve built something new. Maybe it’s code. Maybe it’s a system. Maybe it’s a way to train a model that no one’s seen before. Whatever it is, it works—and it matters. You want to protect it. The Core Question: What Makes Something “Patent Eligible”? The First Thing the USPTO Looks At Before the USPTO looks…

When you’re building something new, exciting, and maybe even a little world-changing, the last thing you want is a legal wall slowing you down. But if you’re filing for a patent in the U.S., you might run into something called a rejection. It can feel scary, like someone saying, “No, you can’t protect this.” But…

You’ve built something smart. A new way to sell, deliver, or create value. Maybe it’s a game-changing platform. Or a clever way to match buyers and sellers. Maybe it’s software that does something no one else thought of. It works. It scales. It grows fast. And now, you’re wondering: What Does “Patenting a Business Model”…

If you’re building software, you’ve probably asked this question at least once: Can I patent my code? And if you’ve Googled it, you’ve probably gotten a mix of yes, no, maybe, and a whole bunch of legal talk that left you more confused than when you started. What the USPTO Actually Looks At It’s not…

If you’re building software and thinking about a patent, there’s one court case you absolutely need to understand: the Alice decision. It’s not ancient history. It’s still changing how software patents work today. And if you don’t know how it affects you, you could waste time, lose protection, or build something that’s easy to copy.…

You’ve put in the work. You’ve built something smart. Maybe it’s a piece of software, a new system, a tool, or even just a better way of doing something old. You’re solving a real problem, and now your brain’s whispering: should I patent this? What does “patentable” actually mean? Let’s go deeper into this, because…

If you’ve ever built something new—something clever, useful, or maybe even game-changing—you’ve probably wondered if you should patent it. You might’ve Googled it. You might’ve asked someone. And maybe, you still feel a little stuck. What Makes Something Patent Eligible? First Things First: What Is a Patent, Really? A patent is not just a certificate…

If you’re building something new—software, AI, a tool, a product—you might be thinking about protecting it. A patent can help with that. But if you’ve heard about something called a “Section 101 rejection,” you might be confused. Or worse, you might be stuck. What is a Section 101 Rejection? The short version Section 101 is…

You built something smart. Maybe it’s an algorithm. Maybe it’s an app. Maybe it’s code that makes things faster, safer, or way easier. How Software Patents Actually Work in 2025 First, Let’s Clear Something Up Software isn’t a physical thing. You can’t hold it. You can’t touch it. So how can you patent it? That’s…

If you’re building something new—something smart, something real—you’ve probably heard this before: “You can’t patent an idea.” But what does that actually mean? Where’s the line between an idea and an invention? And how do you make sure your big breakthrough doesn’t get left unprotected just because it sounds a little abstract? Why This Matters…
