Abstract

Based on an analysis of 3336 software patents issued circa January/August of 1998, I have put together the following statistics. Simply put, in 1998 and 1999 the PTO will issue 40,000 software patents, ten times the amount issued six years earlier in 1992 and 1993, without ten times the resources.
