Software is now and will almost certainly remain patentable in the United States, but obtaining rights is not easy and keeping rights once challenged in court or at the Patent Office is even more difficult. Of course, there is always copyright protection, and critics continue to ask why copyright protection is not enough for software, even as literal copying of thousands of lines of code has been forgiven as fair use by the Supreme Court.

Software can provide creative solutions for nearly any context or situation imagined, but this ubiquity of design and importance of purpose is coupled with technological functionality often more akin to black magic than anything innovative. Still, people manage to convince themselves the solutions are simple even if they cannot understand it themselves.
