National Magazine on Business Method Patents
National Magazine, published by the Canadian Bar Association, has a good article on the implications of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit's decision in In re Bilski on business method patents in Canada and elsewhere. (Shameless self-promotion: I am quoted at the end of the article as stating that although some are interpreting the Bilski decision to mean that software is not patentable, the decision itself expressly states that it is not intended to address the patentability of software.)
