ES: Francia y el Reino Unido Quieren Ahogarse en el Mar de Riesgo de las Patentes de Software

La bataille de Waterloo
La bataille de Waterloo



(ODF | PDF | English/original)

Resumen: Francia y el Reino Unido están dando lugar de entrada a la agenda americana de los MONOPOLIOS del software; la FFII (Fundación para una Infraestructura de Información Libre) y Techrights contrarrestan eso.

ALGO está apesta en Francia y este vez no es Barnier, cuyos trucos para cabildear para las patentes de software hemos escrito en muchos[http://techrights.org/2010/11/06/eu-system-unified-wrt-uspto/] anteriores [http://techrights.org/2010/10/28/community-patent-and-barnier/] posts[http://techrights.org/2009/12/18/eu-commission-for-michel-barnier/] durante el último año[http://techrights.org/2011/05/25/peer-to-patent-in-the-uk/]. Francia va a poner en marcha un troll nacional de patentes denuncia el presidente del FFII[http://slashdot.org/submission/1644266/France-to-launch-a-national-patent-troll] (quién es belga y fluente en francés). Mientras que su demanda liga a 3 páginas en francés, su descripción de Slashdot resume todo como sigue:



[zoobab:] Francia está creando un fondo patrocinado por el estado de patentes, FranceBrevets, su foco primario será patrocinar, adquirir patentes de la licencia en el sector de las TIC (lease patentes de software). El fondo de la patente está en la iniciativa del ministro de la investigación, Valérie Pécresse, el ministerio de la industria, de la energía y de la economía digital, Eric Besson. El objetivo primario del fondo es recoger licencias en esas patentes, que ya se ve en Francia como el troll más grande de patentes del país. Francia también está apoyando la patente unitaria europea, que es considerada por muchos en la tentativa final de validar patentes del software en Europa.


FranceBrevets y la patente unitaria europea: una buena oportunidad para los troll de ptatentes, perjudicaría la UE en su totalidad, él observa por separado[http://twitter.com/zoobab/statuses/79638481646788608], explicando [http://twitter.com/zoobab/statuses/79631182966435840] que Francia está creando un fondo para invertir pesadamente en patentes de software (la prioridad es tecnología de información y de comunicación) ; €¿absolutamente desconcertante, no? Lleva a más ambigüedad e incertidumbre para los desarrolladores europeos. Symbian (Nokia) validó una patente del software en el Reino Unido hace algunos años[http://techrights.org/2008/10/09/symbian-breaks-ukipo/] y Alemania hizo cosas peores con un acto con FAT de Microsoft[http://techrights.org/2010/04/23/contradicting-epo-rules/]. Como una persona observó[http://www.iposgoode.ca/2011/06/peer-to-patent-in-the-uk-lost-in-translation/], con respecto a la decisión de Wilcox [1[http://techrights.org/2011/06/01/wilcox-should-learn-from-eu/], 2[http://techrights.org/2011/06/10/transporting-software-patents-to-eu/], 3[http://techrights.org/2011/05/31/nyls-idea-re-swpats-in-uk/], 4[http://techrights.org/2011/05/31/patent-monopolies-in-the-eu/]], el programa piloto Peer to Patent BRITÁNICO comenzará como lo hicieron los E.E.U.U., sin embargo; se centrarán solamente en tecnologías del ordenador. Citación Techrights que dice:

No todos están emocionados por este focus, particularmente hay muchos opuestos a las patentes del software en principio. Por lo menos un grupo discute que no debamos legitimar patentes del software con programas tales como Peer To Patent, para [quienes] el problema es la calidad de las patentes, no las patentes del software en general. Este discusión pudiera probarse especialmente problemático la adaptación del modelo original de los E.E.U.U. a los estados europeos, como el Reino Unido. El artículo 52 de la convención de patente europea (EPC) excluye los programas para las computadoras como tema patentable. La ley BRITÁNICA sobre el tema es confusa, por lo menos; la jurisprudencia reciente parece haber establecido que los programas de computadora que hacen una contribución técnica son patentables - lo qué ésto exige es sin embargo exactamente confuso.


€¿Qué está pasando en Europa? Parece estar bajo el mismo ataque americano (traído por los MONOPOLISTAS con ayuda del gobierno) como Nueva Zelandia[http://techrights.org/2011/06/13/intel-for-swpats/] lo está. Como una persona, lo notó en respuesta a twitter[https://twitter.com/nza1/status/80227020465909760]: Usted sabe que nuestro gobierno amistoso con las MULTI-NACIONALES-hará lo que estas le pidan. #PapasFritasConEso?
