Story: EC: We'd accept software patent defeat
Posted by: Arthur B. (Thursday 17 March 2005, 10:03 PM)
Here's another theory: Europe doesn't need software patents. Only people (indirectly) working for big software companies and patent offices claim that there's a need for software patents in Europe. That smells like self interest to me.
The EC should have killed software patents long ago. Or at least re-examined it. That was requested several times but they choose to completely ignore that. Now it's up to the EP to kill software patents. One good reason for that would be that the software patent case in its current form and history shouldn't have been at the EP table at all.
