Just as innovation, playing Jazz is not something along the lines of a mathematical formula, which you can learn in a short period of time.

In general, patents are meant to protect inventions which are proved to work in ordinary applications without fail. I support the argument that software is not patentable. This is simply because software is a development of algorithm transformed and presented in programming language. According to calculus developed by church lambda in his thesis, mathematics cannot be patented. As a result, software is not patentable since it is simply a textual representation of diverse mathematical functions.
Additionally, patents are intended to encourage innovation in the good interest of technological advancement. However software patents are scientifically considered to contrast this phenomenon. ...

To strike a balance, the proper use of intellectual property can be ensured through compliance to these laws combined with a person’s personal ethical judgment. ...
