But McCarthy did not say it's 15 years old, she said it's nearly 30
(from the EPO earliest days).
She may be right in that "patents involving software" have always
been granted by the EPO, but only if you understand that to mean
patents for technical inventions were software was mentioned, not
monopolised. I mean you can always distinguish "patents involving software"
from "patents on software". They were of course not called
"computer-implemented
inventions " in the "earliest days".
