In 2007, The Patent Reform Act was proposed in the USA. It was rejected in the Senate in 2008 but discussions began again in 2009.
This proposal does not deliver the real reform we need - it would not end or even reduce the granting of software patents by the USPTO. We need to change what can be patented - what areas are "patentable subject matter", to have software removed.
