I use the word idea with the meaning of "I have an idea: let us do
...", not in the sense of abstract ideas. I insist in my point: are
you in favour of the patentability of easy methods/inventions/ideas/...?
The legal criterion of "non-obvious"/"inventive step" means that as soon
as there is something creative one has the right to patent. This produces
an unbalanced situation between the (unexistent) research effort and the
monopoly granted for most software patents.
