<p>
On the 24th of September the European Parliament voted for the first time
the new directive on the patentabilitiy of computer-implemented inventions.
The text (passed with 364 votes in favour, 153 against and 33 abstentions)
includes several amendments that hold back the threat of unlimited patentability,
envisaged by MEP Arlene McCarthy's initial report.
