So you mean that software development is now restricted to multi zillion dollar corp because only them can do those clearance searches?
I remind you that patents are supposed to be a benefit for the society, I fail to see how restricting development to big zillion dollar corps is a benefit.
And for software development in general, I cannot see any hint that software patents were a benefit to the society..
