I read a couple of people's biographie and find them introducing themselves as "I have 5 patents for xxx."
You can tell me what do they actually mean by patents ?
Do you think people will patent used software ?
Thank you

There are several 'definitions' of 'patent'. "xxx"- you mean the invention/inventive-creative ideas legally registered for not to be violated or freely used.
Used software are not patented, I am not quite following you about this
As of its nature, used software are mainly for free, and can be bought at a cheaper price on ****, or those that can be borrowed from friends so as not to waste the money.
A patent means you have the legal rights to something. To get a patent you need to apply for it at a legal body.Quote:

People use different software and tools to make their work flow easy and systematic. Also by project management software people can protect their important project data. Because security of project data is really necessary for everybody.
