Summary: Public feedback required regarding the most important question (in our view)

TECHRIGHTS spent a lot of effort covering the subject of software patents in New Zealand and little attention was paid to what was going on in Australia. Now there's a chance for Australians to say that -- since they are not patent lawyers -- they are against software patents. The question about this is asked specifically:

Should innovation patents be unavailable for computer software?

Australians who say "no" are most likely high-level executives in some very large company or some of their patent lawyers/lobbyists. Policy should stick to public interest, not special interest. The latter is better funded. ⬆
