Can you patent the application of a technology?

While there are no specific exclusions for patenting software or methods that are implemented as computer software or a related product, it can only be patented if the 'substance of the invention' has a technical character. This can be tricky to determine. Before you apply, ask yourself: Is the invention new and novel?
