Courts May Revisit Software Patents
An anonymous reader writes "It looks like the courts may finally be gearing up to overturn the ruling that opened the floodgates for both software and business model patents. It's been nearly ten years since the US courts decided that business methods were patentable and that most software could be patentable — and we've all seen what's happened since then. With all the efforts to fix the patent system lately, it appears that the court that originally made that decision may be regretting it, and has agreed to hear a new case that could overturn that ruling and restore some sanity to the patent system."
Has the Bush Administration ever done anything that they weren't being quietly paid under the table to do, or which increased the amount of money they were embezzling under the table? And they've been stacking the courts and appointed beauracrats with their own type of corrupt amoral sleazebags for eight years now.
