And I think a paraphrasing on expressed opinion is the best way to outline
that problem:
Lawyer Gene Quinn: it's too bad the Supreme's are trying to
limit what can qualify for software patent protections, it's time the Federal
Circuit told the Supreme's to stop causing problems!
I wonder how many of
those companies investing in software patents are really doing so due to the
drive from the Attorney's rather than out of any real desire to patent something
they would otherwise not patent. In other words:
Is the lion's share of the
existing problems due to attorney's mis-interpreting what should be patentable
and seriously over-reaching on what would otherwise be normally
allowed?
When an Attorney passes "code software so you have the
representation of accounting sheets like the Balance Sheet on the computer" and
then the USPTO stamps it invalid and then the Attorney rephrases it so it's not
so obvious what the invention is:
Is the problem really with "grey Legal
area" or with "Lawyers willing to obfuscate till they get a patent"?
I
say:
If the Lawyers that are currently part of the problem would willingly
stop being part of the problem - we'd have a much smaller problem to deal
with.
But... that's just my humble opinion as a Layman that finds it
really, really ironic an Expert of the Field like Gene Quinn doesn't seem to
grasp the reality that it is the Supremes that over-rule the Federal Circuit...
not the other way around.
