In other words, the inventive concept cannot be in the software for
this general rule to apply.
IANAL (and never had my mind molded by
Professor Kingsfield) but to my non-lawyerly mind I read that very similarly to
you. My formulation was the software couldn't be the entire invention
but plugging in some particular functionality accomplished by software as
part of a larger process was acceptable and did not require details about
the software to be disclosed. Using software within that context might be
inventive, but not the software itself. I believe that interpretation would
blow most "software patents" out of the water.

This is not how I read it. See my other comment. This is about
enablement. This is how much disclosure is required in a software patent. [ Reply to This | Parent | # ]
