Software patents emphasize the protection of inventions. The grant of software patent rights must meet the substantive conditions, but also to meet the form (legal procedure application, review and approval), compared with the software copyright, the content of the right is different. (Exclusive implementation rights, implementation of licensing rights, disposition rights, etc.) in particular, software patents emphasize novelty innovation, must be reviewed. Software copyright is only regulated and protected by law, and it is generally not necessary to examine it.
A comparison of the patent system may help us understand that if two people have developed the same software independently, they all have copyright in their work. In the patent system, even if two individuals independently developed a substantially similar technology, only the first application can obtain a patent. In other words, copyright protection is expressed without delay and thought, while patent protection is thought. The distinction between the patent system and the copyright system leads to the examination of novelty (which is different from the prior art) in the patent application, and the similar originality is not examined in the copyright registration.

How does the programmer code apply for copyright?
When the general company applies for the copyright of the software, it is necessary to be responsible for the document collation work. The so-called commit code, but no technical difficulty, submitted only the beginning of the code 30 pages and the end of 30 pages, and not all the code. The code may not have anything to do with the software you submit, they are just for filing. If there is no legal dispute, you can find the code on the Internet, you should be able to pass the audit.
In fact, the code is only a very small part of the submission document, more let you submit other documents: "Copyright Application" "Client User Manual" "Manual Cover" "Source Code (30 pages)" "Source code (30 pages)" "Evaluation Commission"
Small items: Full name, classification number, abbreviation, version, development completion date, first publication date, whether independent development, cooperative development, copyright owner's company information, personnel, contact, software use and technical characteristics, programming language, total number of source programs, technical characteristics, the applicant's various information ... In addition to the basic software information, is to fill in the copyright center of the person to the door, you put the copyright involved in the function to him to demonstrate, while checking the software development of various versions and copyright information is consistent with your application.
The whole process is basically a matter of time. In fact, they do not understand the technology of good felling?
