Abstract
We are all techno sapiens. Ours is a digital age. Manual work is being replaced by machine work. Systems are embedded with software to perform high-speed tasks. Such software reduces the burden which would otherwise lie on human shoulders. It saves human resources, time, cost, money. But India doesn’t have a concrete framework to protect software. This paper revolves around the IP protection of software. This paper throws light on the patentability of software.
