Some Weird Software Patents: 1. Tab indexing 2. Page-up, Page-down 3. Progress Bars 4. Generate Key Via SMS 5. Order by cell phone It means you can not use them, in your products.There are many more! Why Shoud You Sign: This will make our illiterate politicians think before they make it a law, which will hamper the Indian software market. Please join us in protesting against Software patents!
