Business Method Patent

Robert Saunders

Hello everyone.

I have done a lot of reading about business method patents. Our real estate business process might be eligible for a business method patent. Since an idea cannot be patented software for it can. An example of this is AirBNB. They have well over 150 software patents and growing but nothing on the idea of renting someone’s home for a vacation spot can be patented.
if anyone knows of an excellent patent attorney, state doesn’t matter, specializing in these type of patents please reply with information.

Sincerely,

Robert
