In these hard economic times software industry has continued to show growth, the hard economic times are due to America converting from Industrial economy to a service based economy. It is important now more than ever for us to protect our services and software as a service in the new markets and our own. Not abolishing the software patents would encourage individuals to be more creative and hence propelling american society and humanity as a whole to touch new frontiers. Software patents help corporations to have unique market positions world wide. It is in public interest and individual freedom to continue software patents. Abolishing will hinder creative pursuit and unique market positions. And in effect hindering market investments. Others would benefit most from this move, then US.
