??? Filing a patent is never a forbidden practice. If the invention is
not compatible with art 52, the patent will be considered as invalid.
But only claims relating to software "as such" may be rejected under
Art. 52. And patent attorney are clever enough for not claiming
software as such.
As you know, 13000 such "software patents" have been considered as valid
in Europe by EPO, and also by national courts.
So, filing software patent is not a forbidden practice. It is a practice
beneficial for such firm couching the willpower of protecting innovations.
Its not your case, and nobody has to criticize your business tactic.
Please, accept that other people chooses other tactics.
