I can well believe this, although I wouldn't assume every SW developer works as your office did.
But your comment about the patent office's inability to do a proper job at it reinforces my belief that a separate entity is needed, one that provides a patent/copyright of sorts, but specializes in SW.
I realize we're talking about more bureaucracy, but for such a major thing as computers and software, I think well worth it.
