EU votes to not restrict software patents
Companies big in software are rejoicing as an EU subcommittee voted for new legislation regarding patents which includes the ability to get "software patents." The little "guys" are sad, believing that it will be more difficult for them to compete. Although this was a subcommittee vote, the EU is expected to follow as a whole. The legislation is seen as not allowing the "one-click" patent, but allowing other software patents.The question now is, what is the EU as a whole, and will this vote matter in a year?
