dc.description.abstractThis paper examines whether the granting of patents to software is just the consequent application of traditional patent law to a modern form of inventions or constitutes a substantial change of the patent law which, in a democratic society, should only be done by a parliamentary act of legislation. The paper provides a discerning look at the genesis of software patents in the case laws of the United States of America and the European Union, paying attention to the technological facts of the cases and the legal reasoning.en_ZA
