The startup has developed a novel software algorithm but isn’t sure if it’s patentable. How do you advise on IP protection? "Tip for answering: Show understanding of jurisdictional IP rules, suggest due diligence steps, and recommend alternative protections aligned with business needs.
Model Answer:
Explain that software per se is not patentable in India unless it demonstrates a technical effect or improvement. Conduct a patentability search to assess novelty and inventive step. Consider alternative IP protections such as copyright or trade secrets for the source code. Recommend drafting clear invention disclosures to capture all inventive aspects. Align the IP strategy with business goals, focusing on market exclusivity and defensibility."
