Summary: Criticism of the United Patent Litigation System is published to serve as a cautionary note
FROM the activists at
SSP we've just learned that pro-intellectual monopolies journals are interested in their views on the subject. So there is now a
comprehensive explanation of this situation.
A journalist of WorldIPReview recently asked FFII what were its views of the proposed United Patent Litigation System (UPLS), which is now being questioned by the Council in a submission to the ECJ. FFII had already published a press release mentioning the new push for software patents in Europe via a centralised and trusted court.
"EPO judges belong to the system," we have learned. It
truly shows. These people
rejected an amicus brief from the former president and the FFII, which also has
these slides to show. The original article by Uwe Scharen (in German) is
