You seem to be assuming that software patents spur technological development.
There is overwhelming evidence that they do the exact opposite. The US is in
great danger of losing it software technology edge because of the software
patent minefield. Take a look at the recent NewEgg story.

And what law needs to be changed? The patents have all been unlawfully granted -
if that fact is now recognised then no law change is needed, they just fall by
the wayside.
Anyway, it seems to be a fact of doing business in the US, patents (on anything,
not just software etc) are granted as a matter of course, and then they need to
be tested for legality in the courts. What's changed?
All that's changed is that the Federal Court have changed case law (so yes, you
have your law change here) to say that software "as such" is not
patentable.
