What can I patent?
In a 1980 decision,
the Supreme Court famously noted that you can patent “anything under the sun
made by man.” Of course, there are some limitations to what is patentable subject matter, but the
point being made by the Supreme Court is that anything invented or created can
ostensibly be patented.

from Diamond v. Chakrabarty,
447 U.S. 303, 309 (1980).
