| Description | The contribution is focused on the legal framework of software patents in the European and in the American environment. Taking into regard the specific features of software, the copyright and the patent protection is compared. Furthermore the suitability of software as patentable invention is analyzed, with the development of the concept, permissibility and definition of software patents in Europe and in the United States being considered. The main part of the article is dedicated to three examples of alternative use of software patents, which are rather widespread and which offer an opportunity for discussion of the role and significance that the software patents have in practical use. |
