Subject: Re: Fwd: [Random-bits] WIPO to begin preliminary examination system that will assess compliance with "main patentability criteria"

      - A new enhanced search and examination system providing an
    international search and opinion on compliance with main patentability
    criteria will be available very early in the procedure;

No good can come of this.

The specific danger is that WIPO will look at an application for a
patent that covers software, say "This complies with the main
patentability criteria", and then countries that are not on their
guard will follow along.
