The CAFC ( U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit ) recently made a landmark ruling in patent law. It is thought by some to be the end of business method patents and possibly software patents. While the system is flawed, I hope it doesn’t mean the end of software patents because the reality is that a large part of innovation happens in software today, so the patent system loses a lot of its value if it excludes innovative areas.
