Containers are used to organize applications to keep applications running smoothly.
In the early 2000s, the rise of distributed computing and demand for digital currency has led to software containers becoming more prevalent in implementing blockchain technology.
Because software containers are very new and so essential to software deployment (distribution of software for launch), programmers for software containers are scarce. With the high demand for these scarce container programmers, they are paid very high salaries. Software patents on certain blockchain technologies have become highly sought after because developing new and different systems may be difficult, which in some cases makes container patent technology even more valuable.
The U.S. Patent and Trademark Office has found software containers to be patentable subject matter in certain cases. The USPTO issues many utility patents for blockchain and container technology every week. See, for example, this container-based software patent issued to International Business Machines Corp. (https://patents.google.com/patent/US10079719B2/en?q=docker+container&country=US)
