Biographical Note

Martin A. Goetz, a software industry pioneer, received his BBA in 1953 and his MBA in 1961 from the City College of New York. He began his computing career in 1954 as a program analyst for Sperry Rand and worked as a systems programmer for IBM in 1958-1959.

In 1959, Goetz joined Sherman Blumenthal, Ellwood Kauffman, Dave McFadden, Bernard Riskin, Robert Wickenden, and Stephen Wright, all former UNIVAC I programmers, to found Applied Data Research (ADR). Goetz was senior programmer and project manager at ADR from 1959-1965 and senior vice president and director of the Software Products Division from 1965-1984. He became president of the company in 1984. After stepping down as president in 1986, Goetz remained with ADR as senior vice president and chief technology officer. Goetz left the company in 1988 to become chief operating officer at Syllogy Corporation. In August 1989 he founded Goetz Associates, a private consulting firm.

Goetz was awarded the first U.S. patent for a software computer program for his "Sorting System" in 1968. He received a second patent in 1970, for his "Automatic System for Constructing and Recording Display Charts," the computer program behind the ADR product AUTOFLOW. He served as ADR's representative to the Association of Independent Software Companies (AISC) starting in 1970. He became involved in the Association of DAta Processing Service Organizations (ADAPSO), later called the Information Technology Association of America (ITAA), when AISC merged with ADAPSO's Software Products and Services Section to form the ADAPSO/AISC section in the spring of 1972. Goetz served as a member of the ADAPSO/AISC section board of directors from 1972-1994 and president of the section in 1973. From 1972 to 1980 he served as chair of ADAPSO's Software Protection Committee.

Goetz testified in the late 1970s as an expert witness for the Justice Department in the United States v. International Business Machines (IBM) anti-trust case. He wrote and spoke widely about topics including computer programming, proprietary software and separate pricing, software patenting and copyright protections, software/hardware unbundling, IBM and software anti-trust litigation, and trends in the software products industry.


Collection Scope and Content Note

The Martin A. Goetz Papers document Goetz's professional life aside from, but closely related to, his twenty-eight year career at Applied Data Research (ADR). His major professional interests, namely the software industry, patent and copyright protections for software, separate pricing for software and hardware, bundling, anti-trust issues and IBM, are reflected throughout the collection. These interests overlapped significantly with the interests of ADR and its Software Products Division, which Goetz headed for the bulk of his tenure with ADR. Researchers should use the Goetz papers in tandem with the records of the Applied Data Research Software Products Division (CBI 154).

The Goetz papers have been loosely organized into four series: Professional Organizations, Talks and Writings, United States v. International Business Machines (IBM), and Alphabetical Files. Throughout his professional life, Goetz arranged his papers by subject, according to his current interests, and made no attempt to organize materials by date or record type. This arrangement has been preserved and is most evident in the materials relating to his service to professional organizations and the alphabetical files. Therefore, for example, files titled "SPIAC" or "Bundling" would cover a range of years and include a variety of record types, including correspondence, newspaper clippings, meeting minutes, notes, and reports; furthermore, materials relating to the topics of bundling and SPIAC may appear in other folders as well.

Professional Organizations, 1968-1991 
Note Records of Goetz's service to professional organizations consist mainly of information from the computer industry trade group Association of DAta Processing Service Organizations (ADAPSO), founded in 1961. Goetz's involvement with ADAPSO began in 1972, when the Association of Independent Software Companies (AISC, formed in 1968) merged with ADAPSO's Software Products and Services Section (created in 1971) and the section was renamed ADAPSO/AISC. In succeeding years the section was variously called the Software Industry Association, the Software Products Section, the Software Industry Section, and the Software Industry Division. Although they do not represent the complete records of the organization, the ADAPSO materials include some organization-wide information including board of directors meeting materials, ADAPSO member correspondence and reports, position papers, and information regarding yearly management conferences and other meetings. Subject files document the group's contact with the European Economic Community (EEC) Commission, involvement in software patenting issues and litigation, and interest in the United States v. IBM case and antitrust issues. Other materials document Goetz's activities with ADAPSO groups including the ADAPSO/AISC Section, the Software Protection Committee and the IBM Interface Committee.
General ADAPSO materials unrelated to Goetz's involvement in the organization, such as published documents and financial information, have been removed to ADAPSO Records (CBI 171).
AISC materials include position papers and records documenting AISC's merger with ADAPSO's Software Products and Services Section. Goetz was involved with the National Council of Patent Law Associations' (NCPLA) Committee on the Protection of Computer Software, and the NCPLA files include correspondence, meeting minutes, and reports relating to the committee's work on software patenting issues. Goetz was also involved in the Software Products Industry Advisory Council (SPIAC), and SPIAC files contain correspondence, meeting minutes, and reports about the group's formation and work.
