If you can't physically touch it, you can't patent it (I know this flies in the face of my employer who is a major patent holder in technologies that can't be physically touched - so what to do about that ?
Maybe if software was unpatentable, your company wouldn't need to hold all those patents.
That's true, but then how would they protect their work ? That's the dilemma I'm faced with in taking this stance.
