Red Hat VP explains software patent threat at Linux Expo
,----[ Quote ]
| Rob Tiller, Vice President and Assistant General Counsel at Red Hat,
| explained the need for patent reform and discussed the implications of the
| recent Bilski decision during a presentation on Saturday at the Southern
| Cailfornia Linux Expo (SCALE).
|
| The patent system, which was originally conceived as an instrument for
| promoting progress by encouraging disclosure of inventions, is poorly suited
| to accommodate the complexities of modern innovation. The Patent Office isn't
| equipped to process the rapidly growing volume of technical patent filings
| and the boundaries of patentability aren't drawn clearly enough to block
| excessively broad patents.
