U.S. Patent Office to Enhance Software Patent Process
The New York Times reports (free registration may be required) on plans from the U.S. patent office to ensure better, more accurate software patents. Two revolve around tools to keep those who are interested involved in the process by making them aware of new applications in their area of interest. A third invovles whats sounds like a “best practices” document on how to file a good software patent. Many companies involved in open source, as well as universities and others were involved in the discussions. The solution, it seems, will be open source.
