How do you suggest we get rid of software patents?

Authored by: Kilz on Monday, June 11 2012 @ 11:19 AM EDT

I dont think that will happen. It sounds like an all or
nothing process. There are just to many people profiting
from the patent system to get everyone to agree with you.
Convincing people on the internet is also a long process.
While you are doing that thousands of software patents are
issued each day.
I agree with you that software patents are a bad thing and
need to go. I just think we should be working on limiting
most of them from getting issued in the first place. Then
try and get rid of them completely. But to get rid of them completely we need a
plan. So far I have not read a plan of
action on how to get rid of them completely, just a bunch of
people arguing that they are bad and need to go.

Perhaps the legal system will collapse first. - Authored by: Anonymous on Monday, June 11 2012 @ 12:58 PM EDT
