I’m thinking of a product that needs a table where you can add numbers and track their progress.
If I release this to the public will I get in trouble with Microsoft or is their original Excel patent expired by now?
I see all kinds of producs that have tables format. Monday.com comes to mind.
No clue about any of this. If anyone knows more I’d be immensely grateful.

microsoft didn’t invent spreadsheets.
As a clear general rule you can not patent software code. Patent could be a myth.
You mean like google sheets?
The concept of tables with numbers has been in use for millenia. Unlikely a patent on it would stand up, especially after the Supreme Court’s “Alice” ruling.
