BLOG@IP::JURPatent Attorney Axel H Horns' Blog on Intellectual Property Law.
Saturday, July 23, 2005Still More Discussions Concerning Future of the WIPO. Intellectual Property Watch writes:"After months of debate, officials addressing a proposal to make the World Intellectual Property Organisation more sensitive to developing countries could agree only that further discussion is needed.I think that now, after the European debate on the EU Directive on the patentability of computer-implemented inventions is closed, the diplomatic activities of certain countries to undermine the present legal system global IP protection will gain more public attention. The ant-globalist, anti-capitalist and anti-patent campaigners probably will (at least virtually) gather together in an attempt to attempt to bowl down this basition of IP governance.
With "The ant-globalist, anti-capitalist and anti-patent campaigners", I have the impression that you put them all in the same bag. This is a bit easy.
Well I have the same feeling. Looks like a hidden propaganda/eristic argument. Same as calling Stallmans's ideas "utopia". Mr Horn You did great job to present us with lots of arguments that a "software" can be an invention. Please reconcile that those mentioned "utopian ideas" beacame a strong social movement which is participating in creating laws which will fits in its guidelines. Thats the idea of lawmaking as a social dispute. Typical for society of 21st century.
I'm a happy pro-innovation pro-democracy campaigner. That happens to mean that I'm against software-patents. Instead of trivial name calling, try proving that the patent system within the software field works as it was intended! E.g. prove that it is the cause of more innovation, than would happen without a patent system. In the absense of such a proff, then the basis of the current patent practice could easily be simple dogma, and not empirical knowledge. Go ahead, Make a proff! -- Mvh.

Patents are anti-free market. I'm truly pro-globalisation: that means I want to see an end to the government monopolies of patents and copyrights that unfairly keep the third world out of european markets. I want an end to the intellectual slavery law. That means: NO MORE PATENTS. NO MORE COPYRIGHTS. NO MORE IMPORT AND EXPORT DUTY. Patents and patent lawyer-parasites can rot in hell.  Post a Comment
