Johnson" <sjohnson () pobox com> October 6, 2001 New Software Patent Law for Europe Looking Limited By PAUL MELLER BRUSSELS, Oct. 5 The European Union appears to be moving toward unified regulations for software patents that would be less encompassing than regulations in the United States and Japan. Competition officials at the European Commission, the executive arm of the 15-nation union, met Wednesday with their colleagues in charge of drafting a new law for the union, to press their case for limiting its scope. Their concern is that overly protective patent regulation could hinder competition by helping large software manufacturers maintain their dominant positions. http://www.nytimes.com/2001/10/06/business/worldbusiness/06PATE.html?searchp v=nytToday
