Greg Ahronian distribuiu em sua lista um estudo mostrando que as
patantes de sofwtare nao provocaram o colapso das pequenas empresas de
software como tao alardeado pelas profecias apocalipticas do pessoal de
software livre.

GregNews (http://swpat.ffii.org/players/aharonian/) rails once more
against the "braindead" European critics of software patents, this time
encouraged by a study
http://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/Papers.cfm?abstract_id=926204
In the late 1980s and early 1990s, people in the software industry often
said that the coming of patents would spell doom, particularly for small
companies. The entry of new
firms - the seedbed of growth in the industry - would dry up, and only
large, bureaucratic and decidedly non-innovative firms would remain.
This paper concludes that these
predictions were wrong. New firm entry remains robust, despite the
presence of patents (and, in some cases, perhaps because of them).
Successful incumbent firms have
adjusted to the advent of patents by learning to put a reasonable amount
of effort into the acquisition of patents and the building of patent
portfolios. Patent data on
incumbent firms shows that several well-accepted measures of "patent
effort" correlate closely with indicators of market success such as
revenue and employee growth. Whatever the
effects of patents on the software industry, this paper concludes, they
have not killed it.
