Patent Absurdity

Patents are generally held to be granted on devices, or inventions.  In recent years, United States patents have been granted on processes, and even software.  "Patent Absurdity" is a half hour video outlining the dangers and difficulties surrounding the granting of software patents.  The interviews take place around the "Bilski" case appeal before the Supreme Court.  (The "Bilski" case decision is generally held to strike down software patents, but is still the subject of a good deal of debate.)
