After years of struggle, the European Parliament finally rejected the
|
2005-07-06 15:42:46 +00:00
|
|
|
software patent directive with 648 of 680 votes: A strong signal
|
2005-07-06 10:44:10 +00:00
|
|
|
against patents on software logic, a sign of lost faith in the
|
|
|
|
|
European Union and a clear request for the European Patent Office
|
|
|
|
|
(EPO) to change its policy: the EPO must stop issuing software patents
|
|
|
|
|
today.
