Now the acceptable has happened, and although the BGH decision uses
convoluted wording to hide what it did, the gist of the verdict is
again even more consistent [to the rest of the world] than the parallel
at the EPO.
Melullis has done another great service to the credibility of the BGH
and of the legal system as a whole.

I hope this slap in your face of your slavish worshipping of the physical
(you need some hugs apparently) will wake up you and join the rest of us
in focusing on the real issue at hand: providing examiners with more
time, money and resources to allow them to far fewer, but far higher,
quality of patents of any technology area, including software technology.

Anyone planning on preparing an English translation of this recent BGH
decision?
