Software as a Service (SaaS) companies provide software applications over the internet. Without international patent protection, these companies face significant risks, such as unauthorized copying and use of their software by competitors in different countries. This lack of protection can lead to loss of revenue and competitive advantage. Patent protection is essential for SaaS companies because it helps secure their intellectual property, ensuring they can legally defend their innovations. This legal backing encourages investment and development, allowing companies to grow and compete globally without fear of losing their unique technological advancements to unauthorized use.
