Why Software Patents Go Wrong (b/c they aren’t written by computer scientists)

I found this interesting article today.  It comments on how few computer scientists are patent attorneys.  It then comments on how people who aren’t computer scientists write software patents even though they are somewhat to totally disconnected from computer science.  With our society’s increasing reliance on computers, computer programs, and everything high tech, it’s somewhat surprising that the registration process makes it so difficult for computer geeks to be patent attorneys.  It’s also somewhat surprising how software companies and others rely on people who aren’t computer scientists to write their software patents.
