Wouldn't going through economic or market research studies be more valuable in making this claim than analyzing 1 softare patent per week.
By the way, what evidence is there that patents hurt the software industry. How exactly is the industry worse off with patents.

I'm not a fan of litigous trolls, but as usual, Tim tries to make a point that his evidence really has little bearing to.

Steve, you're right that patents don't provide either an absolute or irrefutable property right (I think Prof. Carl Shapiro wrote about this, I'll look up the article later), and your claim that folks try to "create" property rights observes the difference between broadly claimed patents and technologies subject to their suit. Again, these are issues of claim construction, and if anything else, recognize that courts have an important role in interpreting what rights actually fall under a patent. Implicitly, you disagree with Tim's argument that the value of patents lies on the face of their claim construction.
