Parent article: Text of the proposed EU patent directive

Why do you say that the directive is bad as it is? It excludes patents on pure software and business methods. It just re-enforces Art. 52 of the EPC.

I didn't say it was bad. (?)

Are you refering to my comments about scenario (a)?

Scenario (a) is that the directive is adopted *without* the plenarys amendments, which is bad. The amemdments that the plenary adopted are great, couldn't be better, but the Council doesn't have to accept them.
