I forwarded your so-called Professor's comments to my IP attorney.

After he finished laughing, he made the following statements:

1. The professor does not understand of the law (if he indeed said this).

2. Patenting software can be used as a tool to stop pirating.

3. A copyright can be useless if a pirated product is indistinguishable from the real protected work (witness Lotus & Borland's 10 year lawsuit).

4. Companies spend at least 10x more patenting software than copyrighting.

He has very serious questions about whether an accredited professor would make such a preposterous statement. Can you name the person who said it and the firm he works for?
