I totally agree. Why should we follow the US and Japans example just for the
sake of harmonization. It
wouldn't be that huge a benefit even if the harmonisation-efforts were based
on a good idea. Software
patents are a really *BAD IDEA*, not having them provides Europe with an edge
which we should fight to
keep and not throw in the bin. You would think even politicians were smart
enough to see that.
