An article in The Hill, Software patents preventing free expression online explores questions of possible monopoly on concepts for software, analysing the importance of a concurring opinion written last week by Judge Mayer in the Federal Circuit court (the US court that hears patent appeals cases).

The article goes on to support more protections for 'innovation and freedom of expression online'.
