UK Lobbyists Claim UK Software Industry In Trouble Because It Doesn't Have Software Patents | Techdirt

techflaws.org points us to the news that the SME Innovation Alliance, a lobbying group that supposedly represents small tech firms, is complaining that the UK needs software patents, and saying that its software industry is suffering without them. That strikes me as pretty funny, because just recently I've been hearing from a bunch of fairly innovative UK-based startups, who seem to be doing just fine.
