Patents for Enterprise Software & Security
Software patents hinge on the technical improvement. We help you describe it in a way that holds up.
What tends to matter
For infrastructure and security inventions we focus on the concrete technical benefit: reduced latency, stronger guarantees, lower resource use, new capabilities of the system itself. The description needs to tie that benefit to how the system is built and operates.
Typical subject matter
- Distributed systems, orchestration and data infrastructure
- Cryptographic protocols, identity verification and key-management approaches
- Blockchain and ledger-based systems
- Network and device management across data centres
- Authentication, detection and response techniques
