Debugging Software's Schemas, Kristen Osenga

Similarly, errors in the patent eligibility framework are causing unexpected results, as well as calls to shut down patent eligibility for software and computer- related inventions. There are two general schemas that are shaping current discussions about software and computer-related invention patents-that software patents are generally bad (the bad patent schema) and …
