Patent

Hi,

To get an idea here is the subject matter that is considered patentable under 35 USC 101: process, machine, manufacture, or composition of matter, or any new and useful improvement thereof (subject to other statutory requirements).

Currently, the following ARE NOT patent eligible: laws of nature, physical phenomena, abstract ideas, natural phenomena, scientific principles, systems that depend on human intelligence alone, disembodied concepts, mental processes and disembodied mathematical algorithms and formulas, and human per se.

As Adam points out, it requires an attorney (or agent) to examine what you have and tell you how you may be able protect it. For example, a service app may be a process and you can file method claims. Or it may be unpatentbale because of the Alice decision (considered too abstract). It's impossible to tell without more information.

Hope this helps,
Mary
