>I am really curious if an event like this will eventually promote change in the software patent laws. Me too. I'm thinking that the Apple/Lodsys one has the best chance of making a change, as for Apple so much is at stake. I don't know how it is over in the US, but here in the UK the whole issue isn't really high profile, even with stakes as high as they are. (IE. HTC not being able to sell mobiles if the patent decision is upheld in December.) One thing is for sure, I for one would not put any app in a US app store, which is a shame for me and my potential customers.
