USA accepts patents on business practices. Therefore, EU should adopt software patents, even on non technical aspects of software. In the USA, distributors are liable for patent infringement. Therefore, EU should do the same and stop claining that only users are liables for patent infringement. Patents are good for business.
Software is a growing business.
Therefore, software patents are good. The questions which were sent to participants of discussions by the EC also cleary show that the only way the EC has ever considered was to extend software patents. About the same arguments were given to adopt software patents by Didier Lombard, former head of the industrial strategy at the French Administration. The EU parliament voted in favour of Software patents. Please note that the EU parliament is also against caching technology on the Web.
