Los Grupos de Presión de Microsoft Continuan Engañando a Los Políticos de la Unión Europea para la Legalización de Patentes de Software

Resumen: Microsoft con ACT (Estadounidenses por Tecnología "Competitiva") ala cabeza todavía están tratando de romper una larga tradición de negar las patentes de software en Europa, al menos en el papel.

Hoy hemos escribió sobre VirnetX tratando de ampliar sus patentes abusivas a Europa[http://techrights.org/2010/12/04/scotus-swpats-i4i/] (habiendo hecho un desastre en los Estados Unidos con una patente de EE.UU.). Aquí hay otra empresa que quiere que su monopolio de patentes se conceden en Europa. Como presidente de la FFII (Fundación para una Infraestructura de Información Libre) ha señalado:



"Chatroulette es patentable? La tecnología, que está pendiente de patente en los EE.UU. y la UE" http://ur1.ca/2g60j

Microsoft también anhela legitimar las patentes de software en Europa previo a declarar la guerra de patentes sobre Linux. En el caso de Microsoft si decide a demandar de forma masiva, es necesario preparar el terreno, es decir, cambiar la ley en el extranjero (en Alemania, por ejemplo, Microsoft tiene su patente FAT[http://techrights.org/2010/04/23/contradicting-epo-rules/] aprobó hace poco). No es fácil distorsionar la ley sin algunos grupos de fachada que pretenden representar los intereses de Europa y los intereses de las pequeñas empresas. Eso es lo que ACT(Estadounidenses por Tecnología "Competitiva")[http://techrights.org/wiki/index.php/Association_for_Competitive_Technology] es y ahora lo encontramos trabajando más duro para complacer su pagador, Microsoft. Morgan Reed, el actual Director Ejecutivo de la ACT, puso algunos mensajes de propaganda[http://www.huffingtonpost.com/morgan-reed/post_1339_b_789173.html] en la Huff y Puff (que acepta muchas piezas de fraude/curanderos/basura). En ella, ACT habla acerca de TiVo, que es un conocido agresor de patentes [1[http://techrights.org/2008/09/06/trolls-still-on-the-loose/], 2[http://techrights.org/2008/08/08/patents-deform/], 3[http://techrights.org/2008/10/07/tivo-amazon-and-community-patent/], 4[http://techrights.org/2010/10/07/microsoft-staffed-acacia-and-swpats/]]. ACT está promoviendo las patentes de software al tiempo que lanza historias tristes, de llorar, pretendiendo que éstos provienen de las PyMES(Pequeñas y Medianas Empresas). Es una mentira evidente. ACT continuamente organiza campañas AstroTurf y cortinas de humo, otro nuevo ejemplo es lo que se refiere a Vincent van Quickenborne [1[http://techrights.org/2010/10/06/european-maximalists/], 2[http://techrights.org/2010/10/05/vincent-van-quickenborne-on-swpats/], 3[http://techrights.org/2010/10/12/quickenborne-and-bsa-help-promote-swpats/], 4[http://techrights.org/2010/11/10/european-patent-lobby-in-wsj/], 5[http://techrights.org/2010/11/28/innovation-union-and-timbl-on-frand/]], el político ingenuo que sirve a los intereses de las multinacionales estadounidenses, pretendiendo servir a Bélgica. Aquí está mostrando su falta de entendimiento[http://twitter.com/VincentVQ/status/10692282546135040] citando Mr. Sax de ACT [1[http://techrights.org/2009/03/13/mike-sax-and-tomtom-spinners/], 2[http://techrights.org/2010/06/29/scotus-bilski-analysis/], 3[http://techrights.org/2009/03/27/primer-jonathan-zuck-and-act/], 4[http://techrights.org/2010/09/16/internet-governance-forum-and-act/], 5[http://techrights.org/2010/11/10/european-patent-lobby-in-wsj/]]:

"Ministro VincentVQ menciona en el Senado de los EE.UU.. Conoce la historia del empresario belga MikeSax" http://www.scribd.com/doc/44590348 (p. 3) # fresco

El presidente de la FFII Fundación para una Infraestructura de Información Libre (también de Bélgica) ya le dijo a Vincent que está siendo engañado por los grupos de presión de Microsoft[http://twitter.com/zoobab/statuses/10695298208759808]:

"Mike Sax está en la nómina de Microsoft y ACT. Se trata de la promoción de las patentes de software siempre que puedan."

Más tarde, llega este comentario[http://twitter.com/zoobab/statuses/10697465200119808]:

Mike Sax para las patentes de software en el nombre de "pequeñas empresas", ACT es un proxy de Microsoft, swpats son "El proteccionismo 2.0" http://ur1.ca/2hsog

Para aquellos que no entiende o no pueden recordar, Vicent ha sido un animador clave de lo que posiblemente se convertiría en una puerta abierta a las patentes de software en Europa. O no entiende lo que está haciendo (engañado por los grupos de presión) o lo hace a sabiendas MALICIOSAMENTE para dañar a los desarrolladores de software europeos.

Vean el sitio de Microsoft propaganda (MSBBC), que anuncia este empuje abominable por un sistema de patentes, que probablemente aceptaría las patentes de software en su momento[http://techrights.org/2010/12/04/front-group-act-and-vincentvq/EU%20paves%20way%20for%20common%20patent%20system]:

"Un grupo de países de la Unión Europea tiene previsto llegar a un acuerdo en breve para un sistema de patentes europeo "SIMPLIFICADO" y más "BARATO" - un objetivo que ha eludido a la UE desde hace una década."

"La Comisión Europea ha lanzado su peso detrás de la medida, admitiendo que no hay unanimidad sobre la cuestión entre los 27 Estados miembros."

MSBBC no es noticia. Es como "noticias" el FOX de Microsoft y otras corporaciones como GE. A la vista, Google también se une a esta fiesta[http://www.ft.com/cms/s/02f71b76-fbce-11df-b79a-00144feab49a,Authorised=false.html?_i_location=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.ft.com%2Fcms%2Fs%2F0%2F02f71b76-fbce-11df-b79a-00144feab49a.html&_i_referer=#axzz16go0cwUV] por las traducciones que ofrece[http://yro.slashdot.org/story/10/12/02/0443232/Google-To-Translate-European-Patents] como puente para facilitar así la USPTO (Oficina de Patentes y Marcas de los Estados Unidos)invasión de Europa. "Google firma un acuerdo con la Oficina Europea de Patentes para traducir las patentes", dice este artículo, pero Google realmente debería dejar de ayudar al quebrantado sistema de los EE.UU. de patentes, que parece estar explotando los ingresos por publicidad y otros intereses egoístas, incluyendo la acumulación de los monopolios del software ( patentes)[http://techrights.org/2010/05/03/google-calls-the-shots/].

Mirando el Reino Unido, Out-law.com tiene este curioso artículo[http://www.theregister.co.uk/2010/11/29/inventor_patent_earnings/] titulado "El Inventor sólo tiene derecho a compartir las ganancias del real empleador de la patente" y otras publicaciones revelan un movimiento equivocado en el Reino Unido[http://www.guardian.co.uk/politics/blog/2010/nov/29/politics-live-blog]. Glyn Moody escribe al respecto[http://twitter.com/glynmoody/status/9295546858610690]:

"Orborne introduce "caja de patentes" - hmm http://bit.ly/fFeFqm, prefiero un "ataúd de patentes" ... # # patentes del Reino Unido

€¿Se está el Reino Unido-IPO (Oficina de Propiedad Intelectual) voluntariamente prestando de los errores de la USPTO? "Romper la patente de impuestos podría impulsar la innovación tecnológica[http://www.v3.co.uk/v3/news/2273596/government-tax-patents]", dice otro titular de la prensa británica. El sitio de España-OPI (Oficina de Propiedad Intelectual)esta tratando de ser peor de lo que ya es? Pareciera que la USPTO tiene una oportunidad de reparar algunas partes de ella misma. Como el ex presidente de la FFII, Pieter Hintjens, lo puso el otro día[http://twitter.com/hintjens/status/9332799890788353]: "Tiene que gustarme. MSFT financia los grupos de presión PRO-SWPAT (Pro-Software Patentes) durante años en Europa, ahora va a SCOTUS (Corte Suprema de los Estados Unidos) a causa de una patente tiene por objetivo MS Word." Escribimos acerca de esto antes[http://techrights.org/2010/12/04/scotus-swpats-i4i/].

Luego está el lobby de RAND "Razonable y No-Discriminatorias" licencias (en gran parte impulsado y financiado por Microsoft [1[http://techrights.org/2010/10/08/european-parliament-amendments-and-rand/], 2[http://techrights.org/2010/11/18/europe-rand-lobby-in-conf/], 3[http://techrights.org/2009/07/28/rand-in-eu-microsoft-case/], 4[http://techrights.org/2010/08/26/microsoft-lobbyists-for-rand/], 5[http://techrights.org/2010/10/21/mobbyists-and-frand-fail/]]), que parece ya han confundido [http://europa.eu/rapid/pressReleasesAction.do?reference=SPEECH/10/721&format=HTML&aged=0&language=EN&guiLanguage=en] la cabeza de Neelie Kroes. Como el actual presidente de la FFII(Fundación para una Infraestructura de Información Libre) ha señalado[http://twitter.com/zoobab/statuses/10665217746800640]:

Kroes, en contra del software libre: "puedan ser aplicadas por todas los terceras partes, en condiciones EQUITATIVAS, RAZONABLES y NO DISCRIMINATORIAS" http://ur1.ca/2hrmw

Innecesario decir, Kroes fue presionado fuertemente por Microsoft y su grupo frontal ACT (Estadounidenses por Tecnología "Competitiva"). Y ese es el resultado desafortunado.

Eduardo Landaveri adds (in English):

Why we keep calling people like Vincent Paul Marie Van Quickenborne "gullible" when indeed men like this are already sold out to MS && its cause: software patents?

Vincent Paul Marie Van Quickenborne along with Karel de Gucht, Nichi Vendola and Morgan Reed along ACT the well-known front MS uses on its goal of European subjugation once this is accomplished it will be easier to impose it on Thirld World Countries with the help of the World Bank. The demise of Europe it's the demise of the rest of the world.


Or in Spanish:

€¿Por qué seguimos llamando a la gente como Vincent Paul Marie Van Quickenborne "ingenuos" cuando en realidad a estos personajes les gusta esto y ya están vendidos a MSFT y su causa: las patentes de software?

Vicente Paul Marie Van Quickenborne junto con Karel de Gucht, Nichi Vendola y Reed Morgan a lo largo de ACT son el frente que MSFT utiliza en su objetivo de someter a Europa una vez que esto se logre, será más fácil imponerlo a países del Tercer Mundo con la ayuda de el Banco Mundial. La caida de Europa es la caida del resto del mundo.
