That is the question that has been taunting us over the past week or so. If you’re here hoping for an answer to that question, I’m afraid you’ve come the wrong place. I’ve been struggling with whether patenting in the software world is even beneficial. There have been many articles and posts (here’s one) out there [...]

MonsterFarming.com did a great job of summarizing the presentations so I encourage to read his post :-) This was our first DemoCamp Guelph and the turn out was remarkable.
