Right, patents should not apply to software. Keep in mind that you can't always classify patents as either software patents or non-software patents. Sometimes the same patent will apply both to programs and to circuits. What I recommend is to change the law to say &ldquo;by definition, if it's a program, it does not infringe any patents.&rdquo;
