Patents are crucial for protecting technical inventions and incentivizing innovation by motivating investment in time and resources. Traditionally, patent protection was limited to technical inventions like engines, while software was safeguarded by copyright. Recently, there has been a growing demand for software patents, sparking debate about their economic impact on innovation. Dr. Hoppen’s work significantly contributes to discussions on the need for a new software patent framework. He examines the advantages and disadvantages of patent protection, the reliance of new inventions on prior ones, the time required for development, and the relationships among various companies and stakeholders in the software innovation landscape. Additionally, he addresses the need for harmonization among different parties and the varying demands of markets in Europe and the United States. His case studies present a compelling argument, making this book a valuable resource for anyone involved in software innovation and protection mechanisms. It offers insights into unresolved issues, particularly regarding the duration and scope of software patent protection. Wolfgang König
