SFLC files Bilski brief: Software should not be patentable and don't forget the 1st
The Software Freedom Law Center has now filed its brief in Bilski. You can read it online here, as well as download it as a PDF or as Postscript. It raises three major points: 1) software is just algorithms for computers in humanreadable terms, and algorithms are not patentable; 2) excluding software from patentable subject matter encourages innovation in software; and 3) the First Amendment prohibits permitting the patentingof abstract ideas. I think you'll find that last point the most interesting.
