Associated with literature, music, and movies, computer software is a relatively new form of intellectual property. Computer software is such a diverse phenomenon that any attempts to arrive at conclusions claiming general validity are bound to fail. IPR And International scenarios do not prevent additional forms of protection for computer programs and a member can offer patent, copyright, and trade secret protection for computer programs. The object of copyright protection in a computer program is not the underlying idea but the computer language used to express the idea. Copyright is the most commonly used to protect computer programs because the writing of a software code is similar to a literary work. Under copyright laws, protection is available only to the form and expression of the idea and not to the idea itself. The indication is that software law awaits new social consensuses and requires new legal approaches; and all this ultimately rests upon legislative action or treaty negotiation, whose doctrinal development is a slow process.
