Software Patents Just As Ridiculous As Literary Patents?
,----[ Quote ]
| In the original piece, Tim also points out how software patents (contrary to
| the claims of some defenders of the system) unfairly tilt the balance of
| power to big companies -- the ones who can stockpile tons of patents to use
| as a weapon against infringement suits. It's the small companies who are left
| exposed.

"The European Patent Office is a Corrupt, Malicious Organisation Which Should
Not Exist"
            --Richard Stallman
âStaff at the European Patent Office went on strike accusing the organization
of corruption: specifically, stretching the standards for patents in order to
make more money.
âOne of the ways that the EPO has done this is by issuing software patents in
defiance of the treaty that set it up.â
            --Richard Stallman
