Invalidating harmful patents

Revision as of 10:03, 12 June 2009 by 174.129.242.102 (talk) (Limits to effectiveness)

(Note: Risks of supporting partial solutions)

By invalidating the most harmful software patents, we can reduce some real harm being done by software patents.

This is usually done by finding prior art or by arguing that an idea was too obvious. In this case, the limits below apply, however, if it is argued that the patent was granted for something that's not patentable (software, business methods, math), then the precedent will be very significant because it will narrow the scope for the granting and enforcement of software patents.
