Not really, see
http://swpat.ffii.org/analysis/trips/
There is much to be criticized about putting patents into TRIPs, and at
http://a2e.de/ffii/06/09/patent/
I even argue that we should get out of that part of TRIPs, so as to gain back
the freedom to abolish or profoundly reform the patent system. But just for
the sake of disallowing software patents that is, imho and in the opinion of
quite a few law scholars at least, not necessary.
