afaik infosys and wipro dont write software - they write code for

software. So what exactly are they going to patent?

I remember reading that the entire ICICI Bank IT infrastructure is
"powered" by Infosys-written software. Their online banking, their
ATMs, their portals for share trading, insurance etc., their back
office, databases, warehouses, disaster recovery - everything is done
by Infosys. The way it was projected, it sure sounded like a symbiotic
relationship to me then.

The big four are probably less about writing software and more about
"system integration".
