No definitely not. I've never seen a patent include code. They're more likely to describe IP in a work flow diagram.

- pigeons 4mo agoHow do patents relate to this copyright question?
- josefritzishere 4mo agoI made a leap there without explaining. You can copyright code the same way you copyright a book. But in doing so you protect the text but not inherently the IP. Copyrighted code has a whole "originality" argument in it's defensibility. Patents do too, but they would never patent the code itself. If you want to protect yourself... it's belt and suspenders.
