To be clear, Fed Soc itself doesn’t take policy positions. (And it’s not clear to me what the “conservative” position on patent issues would be. Traditionally, plaintiff’s lawyers are liberals.)


"traditional" patents (mechanical, chemical, electrical, biological) should be separated from software.

The former have some claim to validity under the law, sometimes. The latter: almost never. That's at the root of the problem.


It seems plain from their site that they do. Did you mean to say, FedSoc doesn't have an IP law position?
