Ciaran O'Riordan: Bilski’s hearing and software patents http://www.digitalmajority.org/forum/t-195608/ciaran-o-riordan:bilskis-hearing-and-software-patents Posts in the discussion thread "Ciaran O'Riordan: Bilski’s hearing and software patents" - At Monday’s hearing, neither party had the objective of abolishing software patents. The Bilski case is about a business method patent, so there was Mr. Jakes arguing that business methods should be patentable, and Mr. Stewart arguing that they shouldn’t. For software to be excluded, we’re relying on the judges (to whom we wrote an amicus brief, as did many others). There’re a few worrying statements, but there’s also a lot of hope.
