Explanation:
Patent laws are used to protect the duplication of software. Software patents cover
the algorithms and techniques that are used in creating the software. It does not cover the entire
program of the software. Patents give the author the right to make and sell his product. The time of
the patent of a product is limited though, i.e., the author of the product has the right to use the
works or creations of authorship including literary, dramatic, musical, artistic, and certain other
intellectual works.
