No Indications so far that the Draft Directive on CII will be adopted by EU Council Tomorrow.

Tomorrow, Brussels will see the

2636th meeting of the Council of the European Union in its General Affairs and External Relations Configuration. The

list of "A" items to be adopted without further discussion does not, at the time of writing of this posting, mention the Draft Directive on the patentability of computer-implemented inventions.

The latest rumours can be

seen on Groklaw:

"[...]Two Groklaw readers in Denmark say it's in the papers there that Denmark is joining Poland in trying to slow the vote down long enough for a restart, hopefully. That's the good news.

Here's the bad. Guess who is headed to Europe and arrives the day before the JURI meeting on the 2nd? Bill Gates himself. This is getting to be like an old James Bond flick. [...]"

So, I'm again curious what actually will happen next week.
