An interesting point. It would be very helpful to see the number of applications recieved, and then the percentage of applications accepted or declined across various types of patents.
I remember being told that you could patent a thing, but not an algorithm. But it seems that most software patents are just algorithms. What would be the effect of prohibiting software patents?
