  abstract = {There are special considerations for intellectual property when considered in the context of cloud computing.  Innovations in the technological field of cloud computing are considered, with a focus on the availability of patent protection.  A claim drafting strategy is devised taking account of the characteristic features of cloud based architectures and considering enforceability of the claims upon grant of the patent.  The use of cloud technology to facilitate innovation in technological fields other than cloud computing is also considered with a focus on safeguarding absolute novelty, which is a prerequisite for patent protection.  Open source software and software licences are also discussed from the perspective of the cloud.},
