Software Patent Reform Coalition

The Software Patent Reform Coalition is a group of organizations and individuals advocating for changes in how software patents are handled. They aim to improve the patent system to ensure it encourages innovation rather than stifling it. Many tech companies and developers believe that excessive or vague software patents hinder creativity and collaboration in the industry. The coalition seeks to make patent laws clearer and fairer, so that genuine inventions are protected while reducing the number of frivolous lawsuits that can arise from broad patents. Their goal is to foster a healthier environment for technological advancement.
