podcast .NET Rocks!:
"Carl and Richard talk to Jonathan Zuck about the state of software patents today. The conversation starts out talking about some of the craziness around software patents - patent trolls, extortion-like letters and the like. Jonathan talks about the changes made by the US to patent law in 2012, and how the biggest challenge today is cleaning up poorly written patents from the DotComBoom era. Also mentioned is a document for application developers created by ACT Online for what to do if you receive a patent demand letter. Check out the links in the show description for the document!"
There are no software patents, only "business process" patents that include software.
New Zealand does not allow software patents anymore.
There is a patents reform coming, and patents are even mentioned in "state of the union" this year.
