And your opinion is that they will be in a better situation in not filing
patents ???
When you manage an commercial activity, in software or in all kind of
activities, you
have to take in account IP rights of your competitors, even when you choose
not filing
patents for your own innovations.
Software patents DOES EXIST IN EUROPE, and all tactic based on denying thise
reality is
a bad way.
And I'm afraid that the european patent system will clarify the situation in
maintaining the present practice of granting patent software. The 19
countries involved
in EPO recently have unanimously assented a modification of art. 52 EPC. (The
debate
that led to the 10/9 vote didnt concern the opportunity of such an
amendment).
