Software patents: all talk

The IPKat has just listened to an interesting talk from BP/G radio on the subject of software patents in the US and Europe, involving a conversation between US attorneys from Merchant & Gould and the well-known (and softly spoken) UK and European patent attorney Paul Cole. No conclusions are arrived at (of course), but it might give the listener some food for thought in preparation for tonight's Nodus meeting, which includes a presentation on the same subject by Jeremy Reed of Hogarth Chambers.
