Socialists tried to, but the rest (greens, communists and even liberals and conservatives) stopped them. It's like this now:

You can't sue someone if you already had a software patent, but if you come with a new software and patent that, then you can sue company's and people.

The AT&T suit comes amid heightened activity and controversy in software patents. The issue has gained special attention since the University of California and an affiliated company won a $521 million suit against Microsoft that may force significant changes in Microsoft's Internet Explorer Web browser.
