Actually, I don't think a lot of the problem rests with the patent office. They
refused to issue software patents until the courts (who didn't understand)
forced them to.
Now the courts are cottoning on, things might be about to sort themselves out
...
Software is a list of instructions. The courts are beginning to realise that.

Adding "on a computer" to something that can be patented does not
invalidate the patent.
Adding "on a computer" to something that can not be patented should
not make one able to patent it.
Computers can only do math. If all of your invention runs on a computer, it can
not be patneted to start with.[ Reply to This | Parent | # ]

Any society in which one person's thought is another person's
property has no basis to call itself a "free society".[ Reply to This | Parent | # ]

Please identify 1 - just one - example of patent eligible subject matter that
can be done on a computer.
Please note that this is different then "using
a computer as a part of a bigger invention". Examples of that would
be:
Robot
Car
Curing Rubber (although this one I'm on the
fence about)
You must identify just 1 example of non-abstract subject
matter that could be done on a computer.
If you can not identify just 1 -
that's one - non-abstract subject matter that can be done "on a computer" then
my answer to your statement:
but I don't see how "on a computer"
makes it lose its patentability, either
is that "if it's done 'on a
computer'" then it's clearly non-eligible subject matter to begin
with.
Stating "on a computer" does not magically transform it into patent
eligible subject matter.

...if with a screw makes it new and not obvious.
For example a method of cooking a turkey might be patentable if the
claim includes the phrase: with a screw threaded into each breast to the
bone with at least about 1 inch of screw remaining exposed to absorb
and conduct heat into the muscle.
A new use of an old machine.
Each software patent has, in effect, been judged to at least to claim a new
use of a known machine.[ Reply to This | Parent | # ]
