The undemocratic patent conspiracy (UPC): We'll just call it something misleading



Sumario: Una discusión acerca de las últimas amenazas a los desarrolladores de software en Europa, notablemente la expansión de patentes de software (cuidado con la UPC), los llamadossecretos de comercio’, y no simplemente derechos de autor (o copyleft) que son las únicas cosas que los desarrolladores necesitan

Temprano este año mostramos quien estaba cabildeando por la UPC en el Reino Unido (no sorprende queaquellos que la apoyan son los que se benefician de las litigaciones) y también mostramos alguna disonancia cognitiva. Algunos nos quieren hacer creer que la UPC vendrá al Reino Unido irrespectivamente de Brexit.



Brexit definitivamente socavaría a la UPC, dicen los proponentes de la UPC. Para citar: “Dependiendo de su resultado es el inmediato talvez el permanente – futuro de la Corte Unitaria de Patentes (UPC) de la EU.” Algunos nos quieren hacer creer que la UPC vendrá al Reino Unido irrespectivamente de Brexit.

La EPO pueda pensar que es muy bueno promoverpatentes de software en Europay tambien promover la UPC (lo que les ayuda a traerla a cada país de Europa), pero no será tan fácil como espera. Todavía es incierto si la UPC se materializará después de todo.

En su primera parte, IP Kataludió a materias dela patentabilidad del diseño de interface del usuario” (relacionado con las patentes de software) y enesta segunda partese enfoca enel apróximamineto Alemánen vez deel aproximamiento de la EPO” (el último es menos permisible). Otronuevo artículo de IP Kat correctamente señala que: “En los Estados Unidos elementos de software han sido tradicionalmente protegido por patentes, derechos de autor y secretos comerciales.”



En términos generales, todos los desarrolladores de software (ya sea software libre o proprietario) deberían estar más preocupados por los esfuerzos para aprobar más y más leyes que pretenden "proteger", pero en realidad sólo penalizan más y más aspectos del desarrollo de software.

Pues bien, el software ya está protegido contra copias/plagiospor la ley de derechos de autor. Las patentes no son en absoluto ser necesarias y legislación sobre secretos comerciales es totalmente innecesaria para la mayoría de los propósitos. Se trata de la mera comunicación de las ideas como "propiedad". El artículo también dice: "La protección proporcionada por la superposición de múltiples disciplinas de la propiedad intelectual sobre el software es relativamente rutinario. Sin embargo, la ley federal preventiva de derechos de autor sobre los derechos de autor esencialmente bloquea un estado de superposición reivindicación -a veces puede adelantarse a una demanda secreto comercial que cubre el software. En la medida existe duda persistente sobre los derechos de autor de preferencia de las reivindicaciones secretos comerciales que cubren el software, federalizar una causa de acción privada para el comercio apropiación indebida de secretos a través de los secretos comerciales elimina cualquier duda que pudiera quedar. "



Esto básicamente habla de paradigmas de software propietario donde hay presunción de código secreto. En términos generales, todos los desarrolladores de software (ya sea software libre o proprietario) deberían estar más preocupados por los esfuerzos para aprobar más y más leyes que pretenden "proteger", pero en realidad sólo penalizan más y más aspectos del desarrollo de software. €¿Pero para beneficio de quién?
