We do not have > Software Patents in Europe. Oh, we do have software patents. Tens of thousands of them I've been told. They aren't allowed according to the European Patent Convention and national patent laws, but they're being issued in a steady stream anyway. But since the patents aren't legal it's uncertain how well any particular patent will hold up in court if someone decides to spend the money to challenge it, and that may hold the parasites back a bit and make them choose their extortion victims more carefully.
