ES: El 'Nuevo Nokia Es Un Problema de Patentes en Europa

(ODF | PDF | English/original)

Resumen: La dirección de Nokia después de una toma de control virtual de Microsoft es peligrosa para el software libre y Nueva Zelanda también está pasando por algunos nuevos problemas.

EN NUESTRA mensajes acerca del vendido Nokia [1[http://techrights.org/2011/02/13/microsoft-boosters-love-nokia-microsoft/], 2[http://techrights.org/2011/02/11/elop-pours-gasoline/], 3[http://techrights.org/2011/02/14/legal-action-and-nokia/]], que puso de relieve el riesgo de patentes que se plantean. Desde hace algún tiempo Nokia ha sido una molestia de patentes[http://techrights.org/2009/10/23/nokia-litigation-strategy/] más importantes de Europa y también a nivel internacional. Como señalamos hace unos días, la Fundación para una Infraestructura de Información Libre FFII, April, y la Free Software Foundation Europa (FSFE) instaron a la UE a no apresurarse con la patente unificada de la UE[http://www.macvideo.tv/distribution/news/index.cfm?newsId=3260755&pagType=samechandate] los daños, que básicamente permitiría las patentes de software para entrar en Europa. Para citar uno de los últimos informes sobre el tema:



La cuestión está en la agenda del Parlamento para la próxima semana, pero un dictamen jurídico de la corte no se espera hasta finales de este mes o incluso marzo.

"Las patentes de software duele la innovación y son una carga innecesaria para los desarrolladores de software europeos", dijo Karsten Gerloff, presidente de la Free Software Foundation Europa. "Los legisladores deben tomar las riendas y asegúrese de que el sistema de patentes contribuye al bien público. A medida que la Organización Europea de Patentes ha reconocido, esta es una decisión que no puede dejarse en manos de burócratas y el poder judicial. "


"Acabo de comprar Nokiaplanp.com[http://www.nokiaplanp.com/], a P, le gusta las patentes. Manden sus ideas para una página genial", escribe el presidente de la FFII. En la actualidad sólo apunta a TechEye, que tiene un artículo que confirma Nokia esta sin duda con la intención de utilizar las patentes[http://www.techeye.net/business/swingin-stephen-elop-confirms-nokia-ms-deal-is-about-patent-protection](en forma ofensiva)[ La FFII ha tomado nota[http://eupat.ffii.org/gasnu/nokia/index.en.html] de la cara fea de Nokia cuando se trata de patentes[http://gauss.ffii.org/search/?q=nokia], como Techrights también ha señalado desde hace años.

La gira europea de Richard Stallman esta ahora por llegar a Bélgica (piense en Bruselas)[http://www.etro.vub.ac.be/Events/FutureEvent.asp?EID=111]. El resumen de su charla es el siguiente: "Richard Stallman explicará como las patentes de software obstruyen el desarrollo del software. Las patentes de software son las patentes que cubren las ideas de software. Que restringen el desarrollo de software, de modo que cada decisión de diseño corre el riesgo de ser demandado. Las patentes en otros campos restringen fábricas, pero las patentes de software restringen cada usuario de la computadora. La investigación económica demuestra que incluso retardan el progreso. "

En cuanto a la situación en la que las patentes de software en Nueva Zelanda[http://techrights.org/wiki/index.php/Software_Patents_in_New_Zealand] (similar a lo que ha sucedido en Europa), todavía estan algunas cosas difíciles pasando[http://computerworld.co.nz/news.nsf/news/aptimize-to-file-patents-in-race-against-exclusion-bill]:

Web de la eficiencia desarrollador Aptimize busca patentes en todo el mundo durante más de su software. Esto incluirá la presentación de las patentes de software de Nueva Zelanda, siempre y cuando estos están todavía disponibles, dice el CEO Ed Robinson.

Aptimize solicitó su primera patente locales a mediados de 2008 y había concedido a finales del año pasado. La protección "nos dio un respiro" para seguir desarrollando productos de la compañía, con la certeza de que no sería imitado, dice Robinson.

Aptimize productos han sido adoptados a nivel internacional por empresas como Google y Disney y, en este país por TradeMe, Mainfreight y Zespri.


En otras noticias, ver como un troll de patentes aparente se perfila[http://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/leading-intellectual-property-lawyer-mark-whitaker-joins-baker-botts-llp-116160549.html]. Desde el comunicado de prensa sobre Mark Whitaker llegar a Baker Botts LLP:

Whitaker ha representado exitosamente a clientes en electrónica, telecomunicaciones, productos químicos y las disputas de patentes de procesos de software y las campañas de concesión de licencias. También ha trabajado con clientes que participan en la vía rápida litigios de propiedad intelectual ante la Comisión de Comercio Internacional (CCI).


En otras palabras, este hombre ama el embargo de productos. Que contraproducente. Este es el tipo de cosas de las que Europa y Nueva Zelanda debe mantenerse alejado. Nokia ha históricamente apoyado el lobby de patentes en esta cuestión, muy fuertemente, de hecho.

Many thanks to Eduardo Landaveri of the Spanish portal of Techrights.
