[comp.sys.misc] Software Patents

cmcmanis@stpeter.Eng.Sun.COM (Chuck McManis) (08/23/90)

Some recent flamage provided a wealth of misinformation and helpful
but unsure information in the area of Software Patents. If this 
stuff interests you (and it should since it seems to be a new
money making business ala DEC, Lotus, etc) check out the following
book :
	Patent Protection for Computer Software (c) 1989
	Michael Keplinger, Ronald Laurie
	Prentice Hall Law & Business (publishers)
	910 Sylvan Ave, Englewood Cliffs, NJ 07632
	(No ISBN number available)

This has everything you need to understand what is patentable
in the U.S.

These opinions are my own and no one elses, but you knew that didn't you.

Huh? You actually expect us to *read* some official information on the
subject?!?!?

B-b-but....This is ********USENET********!!!! Being well-informed is
illegal on Usenet, isn't it? I thought I read that as one of the rules
of Netiquette or something (but I could just be *mis-informed*)
