Patentni urad velike britanije je po seriji javnih delavnic o patentabilnosti softwara priznal, da je direktiva luknjasta in, da za razliko od prejsnjih izjav, siri podrocje patentiranja .
(in to v drzavi, ki ze zdaj slovi kot model, ki je najbolj permisiven in najblizje ameriškemu) http://www.patent.gov.uk/about/ippd/issues/eurocomp/results.htm#3.1% 20percent20General%20percent20Assumptions%20percent20and% 20percent20Guides%20percent20to%20percent20Interpretation%20percent20of% 20percent20the%20percent20Results http://news.zdnet.co.uk/business/legal/0,39020651,39200624,00.htm The conclusion from the 13 workshops, which were attended by over 300 people, were that the definition of technical contribution in the directive is "ambiguous and too liberal", the UKPO said. Steve Probert, deputy director at UKPO, admitted that a better definition may be found by modifying the current definition but said the UKPO cannot change the UK's political policy on this. "If an opportunity arises to discuss amendments to the directive, it is worth considering that there may be an advantage in changing the definition of technical contribution," said Probert. bye andraz _______________________________________________ lugos-list mailing list lugos-list@lugos.si http://liste2.lugos.si/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/lugos-list
