"The innovation protected by software patents is highly integrated with
hardware. All of it must remain eligible for protection."
A hammer is possible to patent.
It becomes held with the hand of the mason.
The hand and hammer become patentable.
How can this not stifle creativity?[ Reply to This | Parent | # ]

Kappos is smart - he's seen the writing on the wall, and
is getting out
while he can make a quite getaway. If he
stuck around, he would see the crowds
grow angry and soon
start storming the gates with pitchforks and tar and
feather
for him - or worse. They won't be taking "enough
already" for an
answer, either. I wonder how much money he
made off of all those bogus patents
he issued? There are big
bucks in that business, for sure. [ Reply to This | Parent | # ]

If it's a currency, then its inflation rate is through the roof and increasing
all the time due to the expanding supply.
Yet somehow, they are not all decreasing in value. That doesn't sound like a
currency to me.[ Reply to This | Parent | # ]
