Quality problems can happen in any category of patents, but the quality of software patents is particularly bad.

Possible reasons

  1. Abstract algorithms can be described in so many ways
  2. Jargon and lack of tangible components can make a mundane software idea sound technical

The disclosed information is useless

(Maybe this should be a separate page/argument, but let's wait until this page grows first.)
