On the ‘net: Software Patents What should we do with software patents? I’ve seen both sides of the debate, as I work a great deal in the context of standards bodies (particularly the IETF), where software patents have impeded progress on a community-driven (and/or community-usable) standard. On the other hand, I have been listed as a co-inventor on at least 40 software patents across more than twenty years of work, and have a number of software patents either filed or in the process of being filed. —CircleID Related Posted in ON THE NET ← Fabric versus Network: What’s the Difference?Thoughts on the Tomahawk II →
