Outre mon énervement à voir l'Europe plier devant les pressions de Redmond et autres, je trouve le texte final peu clair... En effet, il semble y avoir quelques bémols tout de même. N'étant pas juriste ni programmeur, quelqu'un peut-il me dire si ces garde-fous constituent une protection quelconque ou juste de la poudre aux yeux? Cf. points en gras
Member States will be obliged to ensure in their national law that computer implemented inventions are considered to belong to the field of technology. In order to be patentable, a computer-implemented invention must be new, susceptible to industrial application and must involve an inventive step. In order to involve an inventive step, a computer-implemented invention must make a technical contribution to the state of theart. If the contribution to the state of the art relates solely to unpatentable matter, there can be no patentable invention irrespective of how the matter is presented in claims.
• In accordance with the European Patent Convention, a computer program as such cannot constitute a patentable invention. Inventions involving computer programs, whether expressed as source code, as object code or in any other form, which implement business, mathematical or other methods and do not produce any technical effects
beyond the normal physical interactions between a program and the computer, network or other programmable apparatus in which it is run will not be patentable.
