In my last conference about patents, I shared the place with J=C3=B6rg
Macheck, director from the EPO. He recognized that currently "CII"
patent applications takes about 6 years (!) to get examined and rejected
or granted.

The obvious reasoning of this fact is that software developers
infringing any software patent application should wait 6 years before to
release their software in a way to be sure not to infringe possible
patents.

Non sense,
  Alberto.
