I largely agree.  However, I&#x27;m not sure I agree with you that it&#x27;s infeasible to prevent pure software patents since folks will just include the entire computer in a description of software.  If there&#x27;s nothing new about the hardware, that part of the patent can just be rejected.  If I submit a patent for a better mousetrap that includes a description of the house, won&#x27;t the patent examiner just reject the application, or instruct that that part be ignore, or whatever the procedure is?
