Hello,
I've been developing software on my own for the past few years.
The software's purpose is used for doing things that you will currently not find anywhere else.
I am going through the process of writing a document for my patent on a networking method that the software incorporates, which my attorney says he is very confident it is patent-eligible.
My original idea was to patent the software, but my attorney wants me to majorly focus the networking system, and use my software as an example-use, which would be pointless for patenting my software.
My question is,
do I patent only the networking system I've developed? Or am I able to get protection on both within one document?
I could see where my software would fall into the "Copyright" category instead of for a patent, but because the software is innovative, I could also see how it is able to be patented.
Information would be appreciated,
Thanks
