We put currently a high value on public awareness and our own lobbying, because we do not have political power on this issue. But our goal should be to enshrine our positons into law, and let the administration apply it. Not to introduce other players, legitimately motivated by money and career instead of the public good. When they are baught, using money we do not have, we barely have grounds for complaining.

Well, that depends on the review. For me, starting to read that review steroids online would be the tough part.

It comes down to the owner of the existing patent having the power, while the entrepreneur is left to suffer with a large barrier of entry into the software field.

"Keep substantive patent law harmonisation away from Free Trade Agreements" - needs a description

"Harmonisation" is spelled incorrectly, it should be Harmonization

I think the numbers from the top column should correspond to the numbers on the bottom column

Terminology needs to be kept strict. "Thoughts" are not copyrightable but "works". Software is protected under the Berne convention as a "literary work". This does not mean "just the text" and does not mean "1:1". No one invited the patent business to close an alleged protection gap.

Some thoughts on patents

When one stands on the shoulders of another person in history then that person should be acknowledged for the work they did. For example, to be able to patent a fractal, discovered by Benoit Mandelbrot, (which is something that occurs in our universe naturally) should not be. However, someones thoughts are copyrightable which is reasonable. Now the question should a piece of software be patentable most likely answered as not. However, that is not to say they can not copyright the code, they should be able to do that (as a copyright) and thus be credited for the original work that they did. For example if we patent our own dna then that is a mistake because it is not original it is just discovered, not uniquely thought of. When one takes pieces of many thoughts and assembles them in a new different way then they should be given credit for the creative act and acknowledged for said creative thinking, but I believe we should draw a line at the patent of ideas. Thus, that leads us to software, correct me if I am wrong but the act of assembling code in a different way is just the same as if I used a language to create a book. The book is patentable as a copyright not as a patent, thus the software is copyrightable as unique thought rather than patentable as an invention.
