One note on building IP.?It’s often thought that you must have a patent to build value into a business.?The question came up – can I patent an algorithm???

If you can break down your software algorithm into a series of mathematical steps and procedures that mechanize a process, then the algorithm shifts from “abstract idea” into the patentable “process” category. So, while?an algorithm cannot be patented, you can patent the series of steps that lead to your algorithm.
