| 单词 | Software application |
| 释义 | 軟件應用 A patent application directed to a mathematical algorithm embodied in a computer program. The patentability of software applications is determined by asking whether the invention claimed involves the production of some commercially useful effect. A bare algorithm is not patentable because it is part of the fine arts, rather than the ‘useful arts’; but applying the algorithm in a commercially useful apparatus or process yields a patentable invention. Commercially useful effects sufficient to support the grant of a patent include an improved method for producing a curve image on a computer monitor: International Business Machines Corp v Cmr of Patents (1991) 3 FCR 218, 22 IPR 417. See also Invention; Microprocessor application; Patent application; Patentability; Standard patent. 包含在電腦程式的數學計算具有專利權的應用。藉查問有關的發明是否會產生若干商業上實用的效益而決定軟件應用的專利性。單純的計算不可成為專利，因為只屬於藝術的一部分，而非「實用科學類」；但在商業實用的儀器或程序上應用計算則會產生可享專利發明。足以構成專利權授予的商業上實用效益包括在電腦顯示器上提供曲線影像的改良方法：International Business Machines Corp v Cmr of Patents (1991) 3 FCR 218, 22 IPR 417。另見 Invention; Microprocessor application; Patent application; Patentability; Standard patent |
