Will this mean that companies will actively avoid establishing offices in states with any courts that favor prosecutors in patent cases?

That in turn creates a motivation for states to make their courts neutral, or favor defendants in patent cases.

Jurisdictions will compete, and maybe one will rarely enforce any software patents, which I would prefer. I would love for someone to link to a single truly novel software patent, the quintessential "this is why we need software patents" patent. I have yet to read one.
