Software is a set of instructions that enable a computer or machine to perform specific functions or tasks. To provide these instructions, the programmer writes a text, called source code, in an appropriate programming language, such as C++, Java or Phyton. When we run a software application, we generally do not know the source code, which remains secret, but a compiled and executable version of the source code, called object code.
What we do
In order to safeguard developers’ investments and efforts, at THINX we assist our clients in choosing the most appropriate way to protect software depending on the specific characteristics of the software and the client’s own needs, through the tools offered by copyright, patent, design, trade secret, non-disclosure agreements, user licences and so on. In particular, software can be protected as copyright at the SIAE (source code), by patent (the algorithm) or by design (graphic interface and icons). In addition, we provide support in the event of disputes or infringement of software rights, including in the case of technical expertise.
