Research On The Improvement Of China’S Computer Software Patent Protectioii System

In recent years,with the rapid development of computer hardware and the continuous expansion of computer application fields,computer software technology has also been constantly developing.Technologies such as blockchain,artificial intelligence,machine learning,and cloud computing have already moved from science fiction concepts to reality.This reflects the continuous advancement of generations of computer software.In the context of the information technology explosion,China’s computer software patent protection system is also facing greater challenges.Computer software patents have experienced a process from non-existence to existence,becoming the subject of patent rights.However,the current subject of patent rights for computer software in China is still subject to many restrictions,and whether a patent can be granted must go through strict and relatively harsh review conditions.The first step is to review whether it has patentability.Then,on this basis,review the patentability conditions,that is,review the novelty,creativity,and practicality before a patent can be granted.Based on the current development status and foreseeable future of computer software technology,this paper sets out from the perspective of proposing patent regulations to protect the development of the software industry,points out the problems existing in China’s computer software patent protection system,and explores possible solutions.The first part introduces the concept and legal basis of computer software,and briefly analyzes the current status of intellectual property protection for computer software in China with a focus on patent rights protection,pointing out the problems existing in China’s computer software patent protection system in terms of patentability subject status,patentability condition review standards,and the public system of computer software code.The second part is a comparative analysis.For the three problems raised in China’s software patent protection system,each is discussed separately and compared with the beneficial experiences of the United States,Europe,and Japan in computer software patent protection.A critical perspective is used to observe and learn while enriching the "solution warehouse".The third part returns to the three problems raised by the author in China’s computer software patent protection system,critically weighing the pros and cons of the comparative analysis,and combining the path of China’s socialist legal system construction and China’s practical needs.Legislative suggestions are proposed for further clarifying China’s computer software patent subject status,improving the patentability condition review standards for China’s software,and standardizing the source code disclosure obligations in China’s software patents.
