As a cryptocurrency enthusiast and potential investor, I'm curious about the intricacies of patenting a cryptocurrency. Could you elaborate on the key requirements for obtaining a patent in this field? Specifically, I'm interested in understanding the novelty, usefulness, and non-obviousness criteria that must be met. Additionally, I'd like to know if there are any specific technical details or documentation that need to be included in the patent application. Lastly, are there any common pitfalls or challenges that inventors should be aware of when pursuing a cryptocurrency patent?
