EU-Commission starts Poll about Software Patents
"The European Commission has started a poll about patents on computer programs,
so-called "computer-implemented inventions". Prior to this is the EU's fear
that the lack of EU-standard provisions of law in this sector could slow down
economic growth, competitive capacity and development of the internal market.
The commission has asked concerned institutions, companies, the public, and
the member-states to express themselves about a
probe document
from the commission's departements. The commission will state its final
position concerning this subject around beginning of 2001."
