Today I got a nice idea on how to show that SW patents are either total crap or an idea that could put every major SW producer in trouble.
So the plan is this: find a good security engineer and a good patent lawyer. Make a patent titled something like "A method for covertly taking control over software". Make sure that the patent text covers buffer overflows. Next step: sue for patent violation every company whose software has at least one unpatched buffer overflow. I'm sure things would get pretty hilarious in the courts.
