Then filing a patent and waitin for it to be granted is a waste
of time, since in the mean time you have to develop and market your
technology,
and make money out of it.
To me, 3 years means that it is preferable not to have software
patents at all, which is in my opinion the sanest thing to do. What is
patented in the software domain is so obvious that it does not deserve
a patent anyway...
f.p.
