Frequently asked questions
Can software for doctors be patented?
Software with a technical effect — for example improved signal processing or device control — may be patentable; pure administrative tools are less likely to be.
Does a clinical trial affect patentability?
Public disclosure during trials can affect novelty. File before results are published.
