Software and Business Method patents: where to draw the line

There is a great deal of controversy worldwide in the context of whether 
or not patent protection should be granted for inventions in the 
software and business method space. Matt weighs up the arguments and 
positions put forward by various commentators and patent offices, and 
considers the fundamental question of “why do we have a patent system in 
the first place?”.

We look forward to seeing you at our offices. Kindly RSVP to
