Boston: A conference on software patents
[Posted October 18, 2006 by corbet]
The Public Patent Foundation and the Software Freedom Law Center
announced that they will be holding a conference on software patents in Boston on November 17. See
the program for a list of speakers and topics. "
Initially, there was little empirical
evidence to gauge what the effect of allowing patents to cover software
would be. Since then, many have analyzed the effect of patents on the
development of software. The conference being co-sponsored by PUBPAT and
SFLC will provide an opportunity to consider this growing body of research
and its implications for software patent policy."
