Patents Portal

Boycott Novell/Techrights strives to eliminate -- not cope with -- software patents. In many hundreds of posts we have accumulated resources and references that explain why software patents hinder rather than help progress. Here are topics and cases that we have covered:


 * Bilski Case (United States)
 * Software Patents in India
 * Software Patents in Europe
 * Software Patents in South Africa
 * Software Patents Around the World

Software patents are being promoted in Europe by diplomats like Charlie McCreevy, Michel Barnier, and harmful agricultural and pharmaceutical patents get promoted by the Gates Foundation.
