EU Commission refuses to restart Computer Implemented Inventions Directive

I’m learning more about how the EU operates every day. Yesterday, the European Commission rejected the European Parliament’s request to re-write the Computer Implemented Inventions Directive (CIID) a.k.a. the software patents bill.

Note that the CIID’s official website hasn’t been updated in over a year, despite major developments in recent weeks.

Mr McCreevy would do well to learn why the EU may be significantly better off without a patent system like the broken system in place in the US.

As citizens of the EU, we should all be questioning his motives for rejecting the EU parliaments decision - his email address is on the page above.
