"The European Patent Office is a Corrupt, Malicious Organisation Which Should
Not Exist"

            --Richard Stallman

âStaff at the European Patent Office went on strike accusing the organization
of corruption: specifically, stretching the standards for patents in order to
make more money.

âOne of the ways that the EPO has done this is by issuing software patents in
defiance of the treaty that set it up.â

            --Richard Stallman
