Just a reminder that these patents, while bad, are nowhere near as bad as what might be authorized by new legislation in the U.S. which could re-open the door to "on a computer" patents.

(i.e. "Picture galleries, on a computer" "Healthcare, through a computer" "Dating, through a computer" etc)

IP Law is a mess.
