There's an interesting article on computerized business method patents by James
Gleick on pages 44-49 of the March 12, 2000, NY Times Magazine. His conclusion
is concisely summarized on the front page of the magazine - "How Patent Mania
Could Kill E-Commerce."
The current week's magazine is online on the NY Times website,
http://www.nytimes.com. You need to register, but viewing the current issue is
free. The link to the magazine is on the left of the screen.
