Business method patent

Business method patents are a class of patents which disclose and claim new methods of doing business. This includes new types of e-commerce, insurance, banking and tax compliance, etc. Business method patents are a relatively new class of patent, and several reviews have investigated the appropriateness of patenting business methods. Nonetheless, they have become important assets for both independent inventors and major corporations.
