Rob Tiller (Red Hat): Patent law must not stifle innovation http://www.digitalmajority.org/forum/t-195222/rob-tiller-red-hat:patent-law-must-not-stifle-innovation Posts in the discussion thread "Rob Tiller (Red Hat): Patent law must not stifle innovation" - In a world of constantly accelerating technological change, economic prosperity depends on innovation. To support such innovation, it is vital that our patent system be well-calibrated, so that overly broad patent monopolies do not choke innovation. In the last several years, patent standards have been relaxed by the courts, which has created a patent system that hinders innovation in the software industry. The Supreme Court now is considering a case, Bilski v. Kappos, that may address this critical problem.
