I agree with you here the article phrasing seems to be opposed to any
restrictions on patenting and the statement on small business is IMHO
marketing fluff, which of course is ridiculous.
In regards to software however, I don't believe that measures to make
patents "less obvious" can work as much as I would like to believe it.
I think that the pro-camp consists of a good cop, bad cop strategy. On one
hand we have the "litigation zealots" who want no change, but on the other
the "acceptable face" who wants a "compromise" on "bad patents" which
really isn't a compromise but an acceptance of patentability in one form or
another, which in itself is illegal. Of course there are also lawyers who
genuinely care about warding off vicious patent claims as well , but it can
be very difficult to know who's who.
Kindest Regards,
Chris
