Could self interest and money raising be part of the reason for the EPO blundering and blurring the law about the patentability of software ideas?
Euro patent workers have no faith in their masters | The Register
By not following the letter of the law (which says software patents are *not* allowed) the EPO have increased the number of patents being issued and this means more money for the EPO.
Something stinks here. The EPO should be run for the benefit of the public at large not to make a few Euro.
