Story: Patent directive faces fishy future

• 
• 

I've commented so many time about the errors of this proposed legislation, the apparent lack of common sense, the perceived lack of a democratic voice, the improper influence of the big business lobby and, in general, a lack of trust and faith in our politicians.

If Anon's comments about the ways of the Council of Ministers is correct, then I'm absolutely appalled.

Of course, this will play into the hands of companies whose sole business will be buying up patents for the sole purpose of sueing for royalties, evidence of which is already showing itself in America. Small and medium businesses will be seriously handicapped and inovation will surely suffer.
