Paris Court revokes granted European Software Patent
,----[ Quote ]
| One of our interests on Tangible IP is the
| never ending story of software patents. Just to
| recap: the European Patent Office is currently
| considering the degree to which computer-
| implemented inventions are patentable. On the
| other side of the Atlantic the US Supreme Court
| has head arguments in the re Bilski case and
| weâre waiting for a decision.
|
| [...]
|
| The EPO Examiner initially rejected the patent
| on the grounds that it was not possible to
| determine the technical problem which was to be
| solved by the invention. The Applicantâs
| attorneys responded that the technical problem
| has been clearly described in the description
| and that this problem was solved by the claims.
| The EPO granted the patent.

Patents in Europe and the EU
,----[ Quote ]
| "Where are we now?" is the question on
| everyone's lips when it comes to the long
| trek from national patents alone to the
| desired destination, the Promised Land of the
| single patent for the European Union and a
| centralised and harmonised patent litigation
| system. Explaining the background, Oliver
| Varhelyi (Head of Unit, DG Internal Market
| and Services, European Commission) described
| the legal bases on which the form and
| substance of the agreed new regime could be
| reached through a combination of unanimous
| and majority votes.
