With a big effort, one very harmful US software patent was invalidated.

One down, hundreds of thousands to go. It is a shame to talk about "bad patents" as if only some computational idea patents might be good.

Trying to make software safe from patent extortion by fighting patents one at a time — under the patent system's current rules — is like trying to make people safe from malaria by swatting mosquitos (and only the ones that come within reach of your hands). We need to get rid of them all, and I've proposed the way.
