  Comments: For software, patents are a crime against the public. In general, the current system erect artificial barriers to entry for smaller businesses, it is against economic emancipation. EU drones purport this as an incentive to innovation, but in reality they want to protect the interest of few.

  Comments: Patente, insbesondere Softwarepatente helfen nur Monopolisten. Nicht mehr der Schutz der Erfindung, sondern Geldschneiderei und das Verdrängen von Konkurrenten stehen im Mittelpunkt. Auch wäre dies das edndgültige Ende von OpenSource und Linux. Und das zu Gunsten einiger Großkapitalisten? Niemals!

  Comments: Current patent system fails in it purpose - it inihibits invention instead of supporting it. It only serves the large companies instead of being fair to everyone. It allows to patent generic ideas, even the most simple ones.
