Question Should my small company consider its business methods as something to patent?

Question Over the past year, there has been a flood of newly filed patent applications for business methods. There exists a favorable environment for obtaining patent protection because there is not a lot of relevant prior art to search. However, because of this, special attention is paid to the quality of examination by the USPTO (United States Patent and Trademark Office). Nonetheless, you should make certain that the invention merits the substantial investment required to seek the patent.
