The Order of Engineers of Brescia organizes a seminar on September 28, with particular focus on the possibilities of patent protection.
correlation between mechanical and electronic systems and the specific development that in recent years have had the latter, both on hardware that the software side, has meant that it is extremely relevant to the engineer know the specific tools designed to protect its software and operational logic of its units in order to get the exclusive on their achievements and avoid incurring the protection of others.
In fact, protection of the program as a whole (algorithms, codes, interfaces) makes use of several instruments simultaneously , each of which protects one aspect of the program:
- As an expression of a process of processing a check having a technical character, the algorithms are natural protection as an object of a patent for invention;
- The program codes written in the language in the form of a compilation taken from the programmer, are more readable under copyright;
- Finally icons graphical interfaces designed to communicate with the user can be protected through legislation regarding design models.
The seminar aims to provide the members of the Chamber, thanks to the experience of a lawyer specialized in the field of IP and a electrical engineer representative patent, the basic knowledge of the subject by deepening both the legal issues that the technical-patent regarding the “protection of software” also with practical examples explaining what are the best instruments.
