> There are no software patents in Europe. Unfortunately this is not true. If the actual text of the European Patent Agreement were still interpreted in a straightforward manner, what you wrote would be true. However for many years now the European Patent Office has been granting software patents (calling them "patents on software implemented inventions", thereby working around the language in the European Patent Agreement that excludes patents on "computer programs as such") and since many years also the courts are going along with this.
