[Fsfe-uk] Patenting software in the UK article

[Robert \(Jamie\) Munro]

A friend pointed me to an article about the current state of software
patenting in UK law. It's written by a British patent attorney, trying to
get business writing patents for people, but it does make interesting
reading.

I liked this line:
"... lack of clarity inherent in the Technical Effect test means that grant
of a Patent is more likely to be decided by the inventiveness of the
attorney rather than the inventiveness of the idea. "
