[Swpat] God artikel om udviklingen med softwarepatenter i EPO regi

[Jesper Lund]

Fra en IRP blog, men uden for meget teknisk jurasprog
http://ipkitten.blogspot.dk/2012/10/the-mess-that-is-european-software.html

Artiklen konkluderer med denne status efter afvisning af
softwarepatentdirektivet i 2005.

=======
In the various European countries, the situation is rather diffuse. Courts
in a few countries, most notably Germany, have recognized the EPO
interpretation as legally valid. The British courts however have taken a
different interpretation. Most other countries haven’t addressed the issue
at all, so no one knows how European patents on software inventions will
be treated there. For the European Commission, the issue turned out to be
such a mess that a new directive is unlikely to be proposed any time soon.
========

Og nu skal retspraksis for softwarepatenter i EU harmoniseres. Det kan
næsten kun gå galt.

Desværre kommer artiklen ikke ind på dette fremadrettede aspekt.
