We, the undersigned:
- believe that innovation is hindered, not helped, by software patents;
- believe that the current clause 10A(2) of the Patents Bill undermines the exclusion of software patents;
- request that Commerce Minister Craig Foss alter the Supplementary Order Paper for the Patents Bill currently awaiting its second reading before NZ Parliament to read as follows:
10A(2): Subsection (1) does not prevent an invention that makes use of an embedded computer program from being patentable.

| 8 | Aaron Henderson | Web Vine | This could mean the end of the web developer community in NZ. NZ is built on a no.8 wire mentality, with too many patents on un-genuine 'inventions', this would make compliance costs prohibitive. I may as well go grow cabbages. | 29 Jan 2013 10:36 |

| 13 | Aaron Singline | Turboweb Limited | Software patents stifle innovation. The stack becomes too muddied too fast so that any developer can't move for fear of breaching a patent that is obvious to the point that even basic functionality will be restricted. | 4 Sep 2012 14:32 |

| 29 | Alan Howard | ImpelHR | Patenting software (or carelessly allowing patents to apply to the wrong class of software) only stifles innovation. The language in section 10A needs to be tightened up for the good of the industry. | 4 Sep 2012 10:18 |

| 34 | Alan Wilkinson | Designer Technology Ltd. | As developers of Marshal Software we are fully aware of the value of software IP and the pitfalls and potential barriers and costs to New Zealand developers of software patents. Except in extremely restricted fields such patents create far more harm than good for both the consumer and the industry. I absolutely oppose the creation of an artificial monopoly and rent collection industry in this area which can and will stifle innovation and competition. | 13 Sep 2012 11:42 |

| 38 | Albert van Aardt | Northland Polytechnic | Computer software programs are essentially mathematical algorithms, i.e. methods to solve problems. If software were to be patented, then any thought process can be patented - an absurd situation. The laws around copyright are more than sufficient to protect the I.P. around software. Making software patentable will just over-complicate matters and stifle innovation, as new inventions will be tied down by endless court cases. | 4 Sep 2012 15:29 |
| 39 | Alex Dong | Avos System | Software patent is the most malicious troy horse you can embed into NZ. It kills the root of innovation. | 4 Sep 2012 14:49 |
