Possibly, but it depends who you hope that it will protect you against, or who you wish to extort with it. Software patents are granted by people who don’t understand software, for pretty much anything. If you hope that it can protect you against a large company, there’s a pretty good chance that their portfolio already contains a broader, stupider patent than the one you’ve acquired, which covers what they’re doing. Or perhaps the same thing worded differently. You will lose. If not, or if it’s a smaller company with keen VCs or deep pockets, they can just burn you out on legal fees for IP lawyers. You will lose. All your patent will be good for is extinguishing small independent businesses in your space, by drawing them into lawyerdom, at considerable cost to yourself. You will win, simply because you have more to spend.
