AIPPI demands worldwide mandatory business method patents

[PILCH Hartmut <phm@a2e.de>]

Under

        http://www.aippi.org/

you find now the position paper of AIPPI concerning the WIPO patent agenda
consultation.  It says that the patent system promotes innovation in all
fields and must be uniformly extended to software and business methods in
the whole world.  Not a trace of critical attitude or assessment of what
patents are actually doing.

AIPPI is a worldwide institution of the patent lobby, in which european
patent movement institutes such as

        MPI: Scripture Research and Patent Lobbyism in the Name of Max Planck
        http://swpat.ffii.org/vreji/gasnu/mpi

and perhaps Trinity College in Ireland and others have a major influence.
The AIPPI paper is available in english,.  french and german, but
unfortunately it has no separate URL, because the website is accessible
only through javascript.
