An anonymous reader writes "I am a developer for a medium size private technology company and on the road to get ready for an IPO, my manager woke up and decided to patent some stuff I did recently. The problem is, I feel strongly against software patent, believing that they are stifling innovation and dragging the technology industry down (see all the frivolous lawsuits reported here on Slashdot !).
Now, my concern is, what kind of consequences could I bring on myself for refusing to support the patent process ?
Has anybody been in the same position and what was the outcome ?
What's the crowd's wisdom saying ?"
