Here's a thought, though: Might the German Parliament's motion against software patents be rendered irrelevant by the Unified Patent Court and the European Patent? If patents are awarded on the European level, and the UPC becomes the highest instance for the enforcement of patents - and it ends up following the current European Patent practise (see http://webshop.ffii.org/) then it won't be possible to prevent the enforcement of software patents on the national level. That's the theory, at least. And the European Parliament has not voted to prevent software patents in the European Patent. That's why we're against ratified the UPC. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.11 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Thunderbird - http://www.enigmail.net/ iEYEARECAAYFAlLeNlMACgkQletyW1YzdSFrhACgn27uC7g+/K9vyqgjxPcE1R+v KxwAn1a4R69H8sB7friFb+A+BidBQHPv =YnMM -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- _______________________________________________ Discussion mailing list [email protected] https://mail.fsfeurope.org/mailman/listinfo/discussion
