According to the law, any individual who “invents or discovers any new and useful process, machine, or any composition of matter, or any new and useful improvement, may obtain a patent” although it is subject to specified conditions and requirements. This includes practically everything that is man-made and the process for making such products.
Laws of nature, physical phenomenon, and abstract ideas cannot be patented. This includes the following:
• Copyrights,
