Of thomas - July 7, 2005 19:26:00 After almost two years ago had rejected the EU parliament already prepared by the EU Council Directive on the Introduction of software patents, it became synonymous 2nd yesterday in a so-called Reading declined. The uniform legislation, it, like in the U.S. should be synonymous in the EU in principle possible, software (applications) not only protected by copyright, but patent-synonymous. Yesterday's decision was preceded by a veritable lobbying war in which, significantly, both opponents of patents cited as synonymous, proponents of the popular arguments "job destruction" and "an obstacle to innovation."
Everything else on this important and very sensitive topic, we have summarized in an editorial.
