Software patents are intellectual property (IP) that gives the holder exclusive rights to an invention or innovation in software. The government grants software patents to the inventor or creator of a new and useful software invention, which grants them exclusive rights to prevent others from making, using, selling, or importing that invention for a set period of time, typically 20 years from the filing date of the patent application.
