Software Patent Opposition as in Europe the Direction to Go in U.S. Patent Reform According to Google Legal Head David Drummond

Evan Ramstad at the Wall Street Journal "Digits" has the story in Google Legal Chief: Patent Reform a Balancing Act writing inter alia about David Drummond's comments at a Google-sponsored innovation forum as follows:

"[Drummond] said the U.S. patent system makes it too easy for companies to get patents on software. “There are places in the world where you can’t get a software patent, or at least it’s harder, like Europe,” he said. “We think that’s probably the better way to go.”"
