(sketches for Cpedu0510En)
- European Patent Office
- stop granting software patents
- National Courts: apply the law correctly, according to its original spirit and to that of the 21 amendments, see also recent UK High Court decision
National Parliaments (NatParl0510En)
- pass resolutions and if necessary laws based on the spirit of the EPC and the 21 compromise amendments
- set up an organisational framework to effectively supervise the patent system
- pass resolutions in order to support European Parliament control over Community Patent system
- EU Community Patent:
- no Community Patent based on EPO caselaw or with EPO in charge of execution as long as this problem is not solved
the examination system is a proven failure, debureaucratise it first, then CP becomes easier
- EP: pass a resolution based on 21 compromise amendments, ask CEC to provide proposal based thereon
- Council:
answer the 22 questions concerning 2005-03-07
- do not oppose EP unless national parliaments require you to do so
- reform the EU institutions so as to establish parliamentary democracy
- withdraw data retention directive (no mandate from national parliaments!)
Commission: repect Parliament, withdraw Ipred2En (a directive that reintroduces something that the EP refused before), instead introduce directives based on what EP or national parliaments have requested.
- all legislators:
- no more across-the-board strengthening of "IPR enforcement" and other judicial regulation of economic activities and public life
- correctly weigh costs of judicial regulation of the knowledge economy, cut it back where appropriate
- reform the system of judicial regulation, redistribute the burdens, reverse some unreasonable extensions of recent decades
- balance the burdens in such a way that essential informational freedoms such as freedom of the publication, interoperation etc are are honoured in theory and in practise
- open standards, open access
- take Lisbon Agenda seriously
- European Patents
