Perhaps software patents aren't any more absurd than they ever have been.
Perhaps the whole patent system is a mess? I'm not sure….
To me at the very least, all these software patents should have a lot
shorter durations. 7 years maybe?
The idea of patenting gestures seems illogical to me in any way, but I can
accept the timing thing - I've said already in the past - if Apple was
granted a patent for a couple of years for pinch and such it would have
been ok.
