The 2008 Berkeley Patent Survey showed that venture capitalists are not interested in software patents and that SMEs over estimate the importance of having patents.

The paper published in the USA by Robert Merges, Pamela Samuelson, Ted Sichelman, and Stuart Graham.

EFF's Bilski v. Kappos brief mentions that this survey found much lower patent ownership in software companies than in biotech or medical companies.[1]

There's more interesting info in the abstract.
