Like I said, a whole can of worms.

But, this discussion is about software patents.

Grant.

Yes, this is about software. But if the patent system is changed, any change will affect ALL patents.

Certainly with increased DNA analysis and genomic research / genetic engineering; IMHO disease management will be increasingly be "software development". Conversely have a look at http://www.techreview.com/articles/02/01/shulman0102.asp

Therefore the key is what should a patent be for? How can the system be changed?
