all except the USA.
The American thinking is noble, but it creates a lot of trouble in
practise.
Just as does the practise of a grace period, which the European patent

But, before engaging in any deeper discussion about first-to-invent vs
first-to-register, please point out how this affects the issue of software
patents, which is the topic of this mailing list.
