PATENT: WHAT CAN BE PATENTED?

Law tells you the general field of subject matter that can be patented and the conditions under which it may be obtained.

We are getting “governmental” and “legal” here. The language of the statute states that - any person who “invents or discovers any new and useful process, machine, manufacture, or composition of matter, or any new and useful improvement thereof, may obtain a patent,” subject to the conditions and requirements of the law.
