EU's Unitary Software Patent Challenged At the Belgian Constitutional Court

zoobab writes The Unitary Patent for Europe is being challenged at the Belgian Constitutional Court. One of the plaintiffs, Benjamin Henrion, is a fifteen-year campaigner against software patents in Europe. He says: "The Unitary Patent is the third major attempt to legalize software patents in Europe. The captive European Patent Court will become the Eastern District of Texas when it comes to software patent disputes in Europe. As happened in America, the concentration of power will force up legal costs, punish small European companies, and benefit large patent holders."

    Notice that your response did not refute or even state that it was refutation of the parent posters' statement that the experts disagreed with you.

    Then again, your job relies on patents being generated at massive rates to keep you in clover.
