Hardware patents seem to make more sense than software patents. Words and diagrams are more constrained in possible interpretations with physical things. Software terms can be interpreted too damned many ways, making it an expensive lawyer war. In my opinion we should either do away with software patents, or make sure they are interpreted in a sufficiently narrow way, and are clearly "not obvious". Further, "business processes" didn't used to be patentable, and that's the way it should be.
