Only people can get patents.There's a good reason for that, which is that the patent grant-a temporary monopoly granted by the government-is supposed to be given out only to "promote the progress of science and useful arts."Just like monkeys can't get a copyright on a photo , because it doesn't incentivize the monkey to take more photos, software can't get patents, because it doesn't respond to incentives.
