If anyone would like to help, it would be great to have better write-ups about these recent events on the ESP wiki: Update: There&#8217;s also a page for documenting part 2 of When Patents Attack!.

If you have other suggestions, please contribute to this wiki page: Suggestions for the USPTO in 2013 A big problem with this sort of hearing is that the audience isn&#8217;t specialised in [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The European Parliament approving the unitary patent is bad because: Patents become a lot cheaper, which means more patents, which means more restrictions and litigation. People can now get one patent that&#8217;s valid in 25 countries (the EU minus Spain and Italy), instead of making 25 separate applications involving many translations. If patents were a [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Richard Stallman&#8217;s latest article on software patents suggests that instead of a law excluding software from patentability, we need a law saying &#8220;that developing, distributing, or running a program on generally used computing hardware does not constitute patent infringement.&#8220; This would achieve the same goal as a software exception but avoids the difficult problem of [...]]]></description>

I don&#8217;t know all the details of the current situation and I haven&#8217;t found a satisfying overview, so I&#8217;ll point you to a list of pages and then discuss some general aspects that seem [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Richard Posner, a very influential US judge, has written an article about the current patent system&#8217;s problems and their causes. The article provides useful support for many software patent abolition arguments. He unfortunately closes with suggestions which are unhelpful or even counter-productive (with the exception of his suggestion of a shorter duration for some domains, [...]]]></description>
