I agree with the general notion that tech patents are too abstract, but you're right, its just too convenient for companies that don't hold many software patents to agree.

Now if a company with many software patents got behind this brief, I'd have more faith in the industry's desire to get rid of such patents.

Google has over 15,000 patents from their acquisition of Motorola mobile.

Mostly very specific wireless hardware patents, am I wrong?
