End Software Patents project comes out swinging

Fri, 29 Feb 2008 19:00:00 GMT

Prominent on the site is the publication of a report on the state of patents in the United States during 2006-07, and a scholarship contest that will award $10,000 for "for the best paper on the effects of the patentability of software and business methods under US law."
