Completely exaggerated.

If you follow the link to the orginal news.com story, you find that they
are not thinking about alternatives to the patent system or even to
software patents.  The article at best spreads a bit of a sensation that
some kind of fresh policy is needed.  No problem is pointed out, and the
only proposed remedy is "give more money to the USPTO".
