Dear Senthil kumar,


The granting of computer software patents should be such that, it would not affect the flexibility of further inventions. As the patent office has a poor classification system for software, there is always a risk of lawsuit due to the software patent infringement. Overlapping of software patents can also occur due to the lack of patent search, which makes software a risky business.
