Examples are very important for testing [[legal wordings]].  If you want to propose a test that should exclude software from patentability, you need to check it against at least these examples:

* [[Anti-lock braking example]] - software-implemented or software controlled?
* [[mp3 audio example]] - are audio signals "applied natural science"?
* [[digital camera image processing example]] - if a photographer could do it them self, is it software?
* [[Cabinet for the blind]] - does it matter if the reading cabinet contains hardware, software, or a human?
* [[Is resource usage technical]]? - if it makes computer hardware use less resources?

* [[CSIRO wifi patent]] - a hardware or a software patent? [http://news.swpat.org/2010/06/csiro-wifi-a-hardware-or-a-software-patent/ forum]
* [[Example software patents]] - reading software patents might give ideas for how to spot others
* [[Computer simulations and representations]]
