The Washington Post has an article which reads:
- The country "needs to revamp not just the patent system, but the entire system of intellectual property law," said Andrew S. Grove, chairman of Intel Corp. "It needs to redefine it for an era that is the information age as compared to the industrial age."
This coincides with the European Parliament's decision of september that
- Data processing is not a field of technology and innovations in the field of data processing are not inventions in the sense of patent law.
The telcoCEOs wrote: "We do not want to see any sudden or dramatic reduction in the scope of what is patentable." and here we have Intel Corp saying "please change now!".
