End Software Patents (ESP) has sent out a press release about their amicus curiae (friend of the court) brief filed in a patent case which they believe could effectively stop software patents in the US. "ESP executive director Ben Klemens said, 'This is an historic opportunity to fix the US patent system, as the Bilski rehearing will directly address the boundaries of the subject matter of patents. In our brief, the End Software Patents project supports the Supreme Court's long-held position that computer software should not be patentable, and has highlighted to the Court the real economic harm software patents cause the US economy.'"
