Resumen: La Unión Europea toma la pendiente resbaladiza de la aplicación excesiva, mientras que Microsoft se vuelve más militante sobre las patentes.

El presidente de la FFII (Fundación para una Infraestructura de Información Libre) nos advirtió a principios de este mes en el que la Unión Europea parece tener previsto tipificar como delito violaciónes de patentes y en la actualidad la FFII nos muestra este documento titulado "Hacia una más eficaz aplicación de sanciones penales de los derechos de propiedad intelectual"[http://register.consilium.europa.eu/servlet/driver?page=Result&typ=Advanced&cmsid=639&fc=REGAISEN&srm=25&md=100&lang=EN&ff_DOCKEY=%22ST18259/10ORI%22]. Para el tratamiento de las infracciones como un delito sería absolutamente irracional y hasta peligrosa. Y aquí es otra historia escandalosa de patentes[http://www.techdirt.com/articles/20110216/02040613124/lawsuit-claims-miller-high-life-loyalty-program-infringes-patent.shtml]:



Si por supuesto, donde "evidentes" y "Internet" se encuentran, casi siempre hay patentes en el camino. Mike Wokasch nos alerta sobre la noticia de que una empresa llamada Carlson Marketing Worldwide está demandando a la cervecera MillerCoors más de su "Programa de Lealtad High Life Miller Extras." La patente en cuestión, 6.039.244 es muy corta ... y amplia, y abarca una forma de crear una base de datos para un programa de fidelización. Es sólo tres reclamaciones de largo, con la primera reivindicación de ser el único que importa. Lea que dicen y explicar cómo esta patente se encontró nunca a ser de fiar.

Las patentes son la forma más baja de la competencia. Ellos son los falsos "productos" que las empresas utilizan cuando pierden. Los mobbyists de Microsoft está golpeando duro con el caso de Oracle contra Android que sigue adelante sin un acuerdo alcanzado[http://www.itpro.co.uk/631294/oracle-vs-google-java-case-to-continue]. Microsoft Mientras tanto parece estar atras de las patentes de Nokia[http://techrights.org/2011/02/22/toxic-swpats-tactics_ES/ (ver también [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/], 4[http://techrights.org/2011/02/15/nokia-swpats-strategy/]]) para más ataques contra Android (especulativo en esta etapa) y además de que existen las patentes de Novell en CPTLN (acuerdo no retirado, en contra a las reclamaciones que el video demuestra a continuación[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r1uaHAGhcQo]). Como un resumen, véase:

* CPTLN Muestra Microsoft convertirse en un agitador de Patentes Al igual que Kodak, cuyo tiempo pasó[http://techrights.org/2010/12/20/kodak-and-microsoft-strategy/] * El Cartel de Microsoft se retira de Patentes Después de denuncia oficial, pero €¿Por qué? (Actualizado)[http://techrights.org/2011/01/11/cartels-and-escapes/] * Cartel de Microsoft de Patentes (CPTLN) Esquiva la Oficina Federal de Cárteles de Alemania[http://techrights.org/2011/01/13/germany-investigation-hindered/] * Orndorff Benjamín de Microsoft / Gates y Ellis Representa el Cartel CTPN Patentes[http://techrights.org/2011/01/19/hard-evidence-re-cptn/] * OIN es muy diferente de CPTLN y Riesgo UNIX es Revisited[http://techrights.org/2011/01/19/cptn-and-attachmsft-over-unix/] * En defensa de la OIN y Android[http://techrights.org/2011/01/21/why-oin-and-android-are-good/] * SCO, CPTLN, y UNIX[http://techrights.org/2011/01/22/unix-safe-hands/] * De las Batallas UNIX a las Batallas NET[http://techrights.org/2011/01/26/reasons-to-sue-linux/] * Fundación para el Software Libre en la Declaración de Microsoft/Novell/Ataque de Patentes CPTLN contra la Libertad de Software[http://techrights.org/2011/02/05/fsf-re-novell-swpats/] * Un Punto de vista Paralegal en las últimas de Microsoft contra Google (y la Lucha contra el software libre)[http://techrights.org/2011/02/05/fsf-re-novell-swpats/] * Novell Acumula más Patentes de Software, Alimentando a un falso Sistema[http://techrights.org/2011/02/21/more-swpats-novell-utah/]

En el próximo post vamos a tratar con el triste estado de Microsoft en el mercado móvil. Lo único que queda son las patentes y que también es una batalla que esta perdiendo.
