Can cryptocurrency be patent eligible?
Could you elaborate on the eligibility of cryptocurrencies for patent protection? Given the unique nature of digital currencies and their decentralized structure, I'm curious to understand how the patent laws may apply. Do specific aspects of cryptocurrency, such as its underlying blockchain technology or the cryptographic algorithms used, fall within the realm of patentable inventions? Or, are cryptocurrencies viewed more as a general concept or methodology, which are often not patentable? Clarifying this matter would be valuable for those seeking to innovate in the cryptocurrency space.
