The case for software patents
Pamela Jones invited the law firm of Wolf, Greenfield & Sacks to write an article for Groklaw, defending business methods and software patents. They came up with The Arguments For Patents for Business Methods and Software-Implemented Inventions. Groklaw naturally disagrees with their position. The End Software Patents campaign mirrored this action, getting an article on the Patently-o blog: Abandoning software patents?.
