Salve,

EU Parliament Votes for Real Limits on Patentability

2003 September 24th, by FFII

In its plenary vote on the 24th of September, the European 
Parliament approved the proposed directive on "patentability of 
computer-implemented inventions" with amendments that clearly 
restate the non-patentability of programming and business 
logic, and uphold freedom of publication and interoperation. 
The day before, EC Commissioner Bolkestein had threatened that 
the Commission and the Council would withdraw the directive 
proposal and hand the questions back to the national patent 
administrators on the board of the European Patent Office 
(EPO), should the Parliament vote for the amendments which it 
supported today. "It remains to be seen, whether the European 
Commission is committed to "harmonisation and clarification" or 
only to patent owner interests", says Hartmut Pilch of FFII.

C'e' qualcuno che puo' confermare quanto scritto, e nel caso
si risolvono tanti problemi ipotizzati?
