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.

4 IY I don't even know how I ended up here, but I thought this post was good. I don't know who you are but certainly you're going to a famous blogger if you aren't already ;) Cheers!

22 Mark Henson Software is better protected by Copyright, specific algorithms can be protected by patents, and then the implementation is protected by copyright. If we allow software patents, like "Underlining a word in red to show spelling errors" (Microsoft), then even though this is clearly NOT innovative, or an algorithm, the patent dispute will be won by those with the most money - protecting the incumbent with large legal budgets. Innovation, especially in a country like NZ, will be severely impacted by the ambiguous wording - which will require significant legal costs to defend. This is a very bad move for any potential software industry in NZ. "As such" is a goldmine for lawyers... every case will have to be argued at great cost.
23 Graeme Stretch Agreed software should not be covered by patents. Copyright, trade mark and designs should be the only protection software needs.

31 Bryce Stenberg I have a software ideas I'd like to pursue but have not the means to research or fight patents with regard to it. If I spent a year or two developing it and some patent troll (who had no intention of using the patent they own) then found a way to jump on it to score money well that is hardly helping innovation or invention but is rather a killer of such things. Let us not get into the silly American style patent wars where no-one seems to be the winner at the end of the day except mega-corporations with money to burn. We need to support the New Zealand scale and style of how things are done... so please keep this bill tight and focused as per this remedy above.

36 Mikhael Schumacher Intimidation by other governments or corporates is no excuse for making bad laws. The New Zealand government should never make laws with the intension of putting foreign businesses before the interests of the New Zealand people.
