Yes, no real victory yest, do not feel at ease,
the pro patent powers will add some force and money.

It would be good if the US people who understand what a mess softwared patents have ceated in the US would take part in trying to add some intelligence into this question on both sides of the pond.

It is also funny how big companies like IBM, Simens, Nokia and others (who support patents on software) have been able to hide their "logic" to the public.

Poor Sir Gates, you lost a day or two in Europe.
But we can understand your personal reasons for supporting software patents in the EU, and you cannot hide.

So, Palmisano, Ollila and the rest of you, let us hear your great logic on software patents in the public.
Perhaps you are only puppets in the hands of your legal departments who smell money for more lawyers.
Oh, hove well you have been able to hide yourself.
