This document may be helpful. We had commissioned Lawrence Liang and his team at Alternative Law Forum to write this and they did a brilliant job of putting this together virtually overnight. http://www.sarai.net/research/knowledge-culture/critical-public-legal-resources/whysoftwarepatentsareharmful.pdf Also, the End Software Patents website (www.endsoftpatents.org) website may be useful.
