Software patent limits 'go too far' [http://news.zdnet.co.uk/business/legal/0,39020651,39116709,00.htm(...)](http://news.zdnet.co.uk/business/legal/0,39020651,39116709,00.htm) Morceau choisi (l'essentiel de l'article en fait) : _The decision to adopt several amendments to the highly controversial directive, fundamentally altering its effects, is likely to lead to the directive's withdrawal by the European Commission, according to Alex Batteson, IT expert at British intellectual property law firm Bristows. He suggested that this might not be a bad thing, since patent reform could then be formulated by patent law specialists, without the need for democratic scrutiny. "It may sound undemocratic, but the amended proposals arguably demonstrate that the issues being debated here are too complex to be left to the European Parliament, which can hardly be expected to have in-depth expertise in patent matters," Batteson said in a statement._ Je trouve ça stupéfiant, hallucinant. "It may sound...", sans blague ?! S'il y a une info à faire circuler, c'est celle-là : lorsqu'un vote démocratique dérange une minorité, celle-ci décide de court-circuiter la représentation démocratique (la remarque est valable pour tout le monde, au passage).
