New Zealand has recently exempted software from the patenting world which tech gurus are predicting will cause a tech boom.

AWESOME!

New software patent law could spark tech boom - Business - NZ Herald News

Looks like with this and Australia's NBN lots more tech will come out of the southern hemisphere.

    Yeah, but NZ has passed a few ridiculous bills recently; namely the GCSB bill.

    Well, Removing ALL patents on software is STUPID! Here is a thought! Why don't they FOLLOW THE LAW AND REASON!!!!!!!!! Unique and inobvious ONLY!

    I mean some software could invalidate electronic patents.

    Who does NZ expect to do business with if they steal and use patented software? Plus in many places software code is protected under Copyright laws, and not just patent.
