What would be the point of a program owning a patent? Is it going to charge you royalties for use? Where does that money go? If it gets it’s own bank account, what happens when you run two instances of the same program? Do you split the account in half and then join it when one exits?

It’s all nonsensical anyway.

The second instance is a totally different entity and does not own the patent or bank account of the first, unless they decide to somehow merge their state-vectors and become a single entity.
