The company's position is that software business method patents don't help innovation. They are used more in business wars than to truly protect something that is unique and novel.
One of my favourite things about Canada is the Robertson screw. A software patent is not a Robertson screw that should be entitled to protection by the government. However, I don't think there are any Canadian software suppliers who would take the position that, because of that, we're never going to file for a patent. This gets back to if you can't beat them, join them. That's why as much as we are not fond of software patents, of business method patents, we are filing for them. This gets back to the defensive use.
I'm never going to say that we would never sue anybody, but we want to use our arsenal far more defensively than offensively.
