The sad thing is that the USPTO may very well grant such a patent, because it
has no less merit, technically at least, than many of those which they have
granted. That is a very sad reflection on the current state of the USPTO and the
US legal system. Could we also have a business method patent to kill all
subsequent business methods, and a human gene patent to kill all of those? [ Reply to This | Parent | # ]

If you want lawyers to change things you have to make the current system
painful.
First you need to patents some software aiding making legal arguments. Be
really vague on the claims, you know - Computers!
Second you start suing word processing companies used by legal document
drafters.
When lawyers can no longer use a word processor they will understand exactly
what programmers are going through with the patent system.

We just need two diametrically opposed patents.
And then two lawsuits that make it to SCOTUS.
At which point, the insanity will be so obvious,
that something must give.
This scenario should be easy to construct using
four shell companies, which pairwise sue another
to create the litigation. Pro bono all the way too!
