Solution

The correct option is A Statement I and II both are correct.
In India the Copyright Act, 1957 grants protection to original expression and computer software is granted protection as a copyright unless it leads to a technical effect and is not a computer program per se. Generally Computer software which does not have a technical effect is protected under copyright law. If the algorithm is embodied in a machine and results in the transformation of matter, then it may be patentable and qualify for patenting.
Industrial process a type of utility patent reserved for manufacturing processes in which a material is treated in a certain manner in order to change its characteristics or functionality for a particular application. Hence, any software results in the transformation of matter, then it may be patentable and qualify for patenting.
