I emailed the Select Committee secretariat, who confirmed that you can make submissions by email. The online facility is currently unavailable.
"Manner of manufacture"
From the bill's explanatory note:
The term “manner of manufacture” is carried over from the Patents Act 1953 and has been interpreted by the courts to exclude such things as “products of nature”, mere discoveries, mathematical algorithms, mere schemes or plans, and methods of medical treatment of humans.
This mentions mathematical algorithms. Software is usually not much different from a mathematical algorithm. Could that be used or extended?
