20 years ago in 2005, large corporations asked the European Parliament to reject the software patents directive to better push for a central patent court instead, the Unified Patent Court (UPC). They shielded patent law from any intervention of the European Court of Justice (CJEU), meaning the final word over software patents will be made by pro-patent courts. Those large corporations (Nokia, Airbus) also managed to get their attorneys as part time judges.
We will discuss with the interested people what to do, including further legal actions.
